The Bose Lab mission is to improve patients' lives and advance science via cancer research
What?
- Our cancer research program employs fundamental, translational and clinical science to reveal hidden vulnerabilities of cancer
- Our work encompasses cancers of a hormone-related or genitourinary origin, with a focus on prostate cancer
Who?
- Read about our dedicated team here
- The principal investigator of the lab is Rohit Bose MD PhD, assistant professor and practicing genitourinary medical oncologist at the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center
- Member of the UCSF Benioff Initiative for Prostate Cancer Research
How?
- To identify vulnerabilities, we dissect the entire spectrum of disease, including:
- studying the structure/function of cancer-causing proteins, and their interactions with DNA and other molecules
- modeling tumors and their interactions with their environment and hormones
- studying patients whose tumors possess a given genetic characteristics
Why?
- For individual patients, this research helps healthcare providers interpret molecular profiling from blood and biopsy samples, in order to choose the most appropriate therapy or clinical trial
- For the biomedical and scientific communities as a whole, this work helps develop the next generation of medicine and knowledge
