RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Price’s research focuses on the molecular biology of prostate cancer with emphasis on the goals of (1) understanding the biology of prostate cancer progression and the transition from androgen-dependent disease to castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), (2) exploring the impact of genetic polymorphisms in androgen regulatory pathways on clinical outcomes, and (3) developing targeted therapies against CRPC with emphasis on the design and development of small molecule inhibitors of angiogenesis, transporters and hypoxia factors. Dr. Price also acts as the laboratory biorepository curator, overseeing the banking and storage of genetic materials from patients with prostate cancer.
