The Merchant Laboratory is studying how tumor cells interact with their micro-environment and how this interaction contributes to the development and maintenance of cancer. In particular, the Merchant Lab is interested in signaling pathways that confer resistance to chemotherapy or other stem-cell-like properties to cancer cells. Another area of interest is how immune cells are trafficked into the tumor space and how immune cells can be harnessed to treat cancer.
