Pointer Laboratory
Featured
Research
The Pointer lab focuses on translational and preclinical approaches to overcome radiation resistance and toxicity. Between half and two thirds of patients will receive radiation therapy during their cancer treatment. While radiation therapy is curative in many cases, radiation can paradoxically cause tumor resistance and can also cause harm. The Pointer lab is interested in understanding the mechanisms behind radiation resistance and developing ways to overcome this resistance, as well as ways to improve patient quality of life after radiation therapy.
