FIND NOVEL GENETIC SIGNATURES AND/OR BIOMARKERS FOR EARLY DETECTION OF HUMAN DISEASES.

Juanes lab is a multicultural and multidisciplinary laboratory. Our lab is focused on delineating the mechanisms involved in cytoskeleton remodeling during collective cell migration and cancer invasion, and their relationship to disease phenotypes. In addition, we investigate how metabolic alterations drive cancer disease. To that end, we identify novel genetic signatures and/or biomarkers, including metabolites, for the early detection of human cancer diseases and assist the development of personalized therapies.

Our lab exploits genetic (specific separation-of-function mutants) or pharmacological tools in a multi-pronged approach across scales, from reconstituted proteins to in vivo mouse models.
This research will advance an emerging field by defining the molecular mechanisms that underlie a host of fundamental biological processes, which will serve as signatures for the early prevention of cancers and assist in the design of new therapies.
