Current Research Studies

Wierman Lab


Ongoing translational research

1

Development of novel adrenal carcinogenesis research tools

Summary: The aim of this project is to develop adrenocortical carcinoma patient derived novel cell lines, as well as development of patient derived xenografts in mice to ultimately use in testing new therapeutics.
2

Approaches to targeted therapy in adrenal carcinogenesis

Summary: The major goal of this project has been focused on exploring novel pathways underlying ACC tumorigenesis to identify new therapeutic targets for the patients.

Fishbein Lab


Ongoing translational research

1

Understand neuroendocrine tumor formation

Summary: The goal of this project to use genetic and molecular genetic approaches to understand why neuroendocrine tumors, such as pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, form.
2

Identify markers for predicting prognosis and for targeted therapies

Summary: The goal of this project is to advance personalized medicine for patients with neuroendocrine tumors including pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma.
