Josh Andersen, PhD, is an associate professor in the Department of Oncological Sciences and started on September 1, 2023.
"All projects in our lab are tied together by a common interest in cancer cell signaling—specifically, how post-translational mechanisms control key aspects of tumor cell biology, including innate immune signaling, autophagy, cell survival, and growth. Our research is mechanism-focused, but also angled toward translational endpoints, including drug development. Because our research is question-driven, it relies on a variety of approaches from cell biology, biochemistry, computer coding/modeling, and mass spectrometry to uncover targetable mechanisms of tumor cell biology."
