Title of Collaborative Activity: |
P63, P13K and RAS oncogenes in tumorigenesis, immune deregulation and therapy of squamous cell carcinoma |
Description of Collaborative Activity: |
At the FDA, Dr. Weinberg is transducing murine keratinocytes with combinations of oncogenes found in human squamous cell carcinomas to determine if they generate transformation and tumors in laboratory environment conditions. Dr. Van Waes’ laboratory at NIDCD will study how these oncogene driven tumors in mice deregulate keratinocytes and host immune responses, as well as response to various standard, molecular and immune therapies. |
