RESEARCH SUMMARY

The overarching goal of Rouf Banday's research is to understand the genomic alterations that govern the development of bladder cancer and confer resistance to therapies. His laboratory uses multi-omics, and in vitro/in vivo functional genomics approaches to identify cancer dependencies, and biomarkers for response and survival in patients with cancer. Dr. Banday's studies have identified genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate APOBEC-mediated mutagenesis, a major mutational process in bladder cancer.
