RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Pruett’s research focuses on elucidating the oncogenic regulatory mechanisms underlying the establishment and progression of mesothelioma focusing on the role inflammation as a causative signaling pathway. To do this, he is developing oncogenic models with which to evaluate contributing signal transduction pathways and resulting gene expression patterns with the ultimate goal of identifying potential clinically translatable targets.
