The Bose Lab mission is to improve patients' lives and contribute to science via cancer research
What?
- Our comprehensive cancer research program employs fundamental, translational and clinical science to identify otherwise hidden vulnerabilities of cancer
- Our disease-focused research encompasses cancers of a hormone-related and/or genitourinary origin, with an emphasis 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
How?
- To identify vulnerabilities, we dissect the entire spectrum of disease, including:
- determining the molecular structure/function of cancer-causing proteins
- modeling tumors and their interaction with the body via organoid technology
- studying patients' health whose tumors possess a given genetic signature
Why?
- For individual patients, this research helps healthcare providers interpret molecular profiling from blood and biopsy samples, in order to choose the best standard therapy or clinical trial
- For the biomedical and scientific communities as a whole, this research helps develop the next generation of medicine and knowledge
