- WNT Signaling
The Park Laboratory studies cell dynamics of endoderm-derived tissues (intestine, stomach, esophagus, liver and lung) in the context of cancer and tissue regeneration by using genetically engineered mice and organoids with a specific interest in WNT signaling.
Our Research
Although mucinous colon cancer is aggressive and highly metastatic, its therapeutic option is limited. Furthermore, the biology of mucinous colon cancer remains to be determined. Employing single-cell transcriptomics and preclinical models, the Park laboratory explores cell dynamics of mucinous colon cancer to develop its potential treatment options.
