Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.

The focus of the research in my laboratory is on steroid hormone receptor action and endocrine therapy in breast cancer.
We study the mechanisms of resistance to endocrine therapy and how breast cancers progress to hormone independence.
Recently we have determined that microRNAs are differentially expressed in well-differentiated, hormone-dependent cancers versus less-differentiated, more aggressive and hormone independent carcinoma cells that have undergone epithelial to mesenchymal transition. We miRNA regulation of genes that control epithelial cell identity (differentiation state) and immune suppression in breast, endometrial and ovarian cancer.
