Advancing Breast Cancer Research One Gene at a Time

CSUN biology professor Jonathan Kelber and a team of nine students are leading the pack in breast cancer research by identifying a critical cancer “support wall” gene called PEAK1. The results of their research have been published in the Public Library of Science (PLoS) One journal, titled “PEAK1 Acts as a Molecular Switch to Regulate Context-Dependent TGFβ Responses in Breast Cancer.”
