RESEARCH SUMMARY
Dr. Senatorov is a cancer pharmacologist interested in deciphering therapy sensitivity and resistance profiles in prostate cancer across a broad compound library spanning many mechanistic classes. His current research combines high throughput compound screening with transcriptomic analysis for biomarker discovery and generation of prognostic gene signatures predicting response or resistance using patient-derived organoid models.
Areas of Expertise
1) Drug mechanisms of action and resistance, 2) Organoid culturing, 3) Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis, 4) Gene Signatures
