This work is focused on cell surface receptors that interact with components of the tumor microenvironment to promote tumor progression/metastasis. These studies are currently making use of MSI resources to look at the impact of inhibiting expression of some of these receptors on the biology and RNA expression patterns of various tumor cell lines with RNA-seq. The researchers are working with the RIS LM&P bioinformatics group to perform the analysis on their bulk data. They are planning to do additional RNA-seq experiments in the near future.
