Research in the Lewis lab is focused on the genetic regulation of mammary gland development and early-stage breast cancer. Early detection of breast cancer is widely recognized as a key to effective ...

Our laboratory’s research is based upon the philosophy that it necessary to first define the mechanisms regulating normal mammary gland development in order to understand the alterations in breast ...

LGP has established a program designed to identify and understand genetic pathways operative during normal mammary gland development and tumorigenesis. One arm of this program focuses on the use ...

We strive to understand the molecular and cellular regulation of epithelial appendage (hair, mammary gland, tooth) development and how they are perturbed in diseases such as congenital disorders or ...
