Welcome to the Romero Laboratory. We study how cancer cells change their cellular state during disease progression to resist therapy. By integrating next-generation genetically engineered mouse and organoid models with functional genetics, single-cell and spatial methodologies, our goal is to uncover the causal mechanisms that drive lineage plasticity and to identify strategies to prevent or reverse aggressive tumor states.
