Welcome to the Kalluri Laboratory
We are located in the Cancer Biology department at MD Anderson Cancer Center. The central goal of the Kalluri Laboratory is to perform innovative and cutting-edge research to unravel how cells and their environment communicate to maintain organ health and how such communication networks in tissues are altered in cancer and other diseases. We investigate the biology of cancer with an implicit goal to develop new strategies for diagnosis and therapy. Importantly, the Kalluri Laboratory endeavors to achieve this goal by fostering a fertile training ground for the next generation of scientists and physician-scientists.
The broad research focus areas in the Kalluri Laboratory are:
- Cancer biology and metastasis
- Tumor microenvironment
- Tissue injury and regeneration
- Biology of exosomes in health and disease
