Research & Scholarship

The Department of Biochemistry has a broad research portfolio focused on the molecular, genetic, and cellular mechanisms underlying cancer, diabetes, genome instability, DNA repair, epigenetics, and metabolism.

Key research strengths include cancer biology and progression, tumor metastasis, genetic and environmental influences on disease, cellular signaling, therapeutic target discovery, drug resistance, and the development of innovative treatments for cancer and other diseases.

These research efforts integrate molecular biology, genetics, and cellular models to advance the understanding of disease mechanisms and support the development of new therapeutic strategies.
