JIMENO RESEARCH LAB

Research Focus

The Jimeno lab aims to bridge lab and clinical research by developing direct patient xenograft models of head and neck and other cancers to generate better cancer models and as a platform to study cancer stem cells and devising ways to integrate that knowledge into clinical trials to individualize anti-cancer therapy.
