Deregulated Wnt Signaling in Prostate Cancer

Abstract

The PCRP Prostate Cancer Training Award has supported my training for the past 12 months. During this time, I have worked towards attaining a better understanding of (a) the biology of prostate cancer, (b) the biology of specific growth factor signaling pathways, (c) the principle and application of cutting edge techniques in modern molecular and cellular biology, and (d) the principle and application of genetically engineered mouse (GEM) models, with the intent of becoming uniquely positioned to investigate the role of specific factor signaling in the initiation, progression and metastasis of spontaneous autochthonous prostate cancer and the emergence of the castration resistant phenotype. In addition to this rigorous technical training, I have continued to attend weekly lab meetings, division wide Cancer Biology Seminar series, and the Pacific Northwest SPORE in Prostate Cancer meetings.
