The Faye Johnson Laboratory integrates laboratory, clinical and translational work to develop studies of signal transduction in head and neck and lung cancers. My ultimate goal is to improve therapy for cancer patients. To this end, I have focused on defining the biologic effects of inhibiting therapeutic targets (e.g., c-Src, EphA2, EphA4, and JAK2) and pathways of resistance (e.g., STAT3 activation). I envision continuing these research projects in the laboratory with complementary clinical trials designed to validate and advance our laboratory findings and improve patient survival.
