Rohit Bose Lab @ UCSF

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 or genitourinary origin or with hypermutation, with an emphasis on prostate cancer

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

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

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
