Research Overview: 

The Bivona lab conducts genetic and cell biological studies to uncover the fundamental principles that underlie the aberrant cell signaling events driving tumor initiation, progression, and drug resistance. The overall goal of this integrative research program is to understand the regulatory events underlying cancer cell growth through hypothesis-driven, laboratory-based investigations in order to improve cancer therapy and cancer patient survival.

Primary Thematic Area: 
Cancer Biology & Cell Signaling
Secondary Thematic Area: 
Human Genetics
Research Summary: 
Molecular characterization and precision treatment of solid cancers.
