Oren Parnas, PhD
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly and aggressive cancer types – often because it is diagnosed very late, when the tumor has metastasized to distant organs. Metastasis correlates with a bad prognosis and poor response to treatments. Drawing from his pioneering studies and using cutting-edge experimental tools, Dr. Parnas and his lab are working to better understand the malignant and metastatic processes and to find new markers for early detection, potentially leading to new therapeutic targets.
