RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:
Obesity is a global epidemic and increases the risk for development of breast cancer and progression to metastasis. We are interested in understanding how obesity alters the function of stromal cells and immune cells within the microenvironment of the normal breast, tumors, and metastatic sites to enhance tumor development and alter response to therapy.
