My research is focused on; (1) how inflammation increases breast cancer metastasis, and (2) the role of obesity and diabetes in driving breast cancer progression and metastasis. Specifically, my work focuses on the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) and its ligands that participate in many malignant states including breast cancer. To translate these findings into a possible cancer therapy, we are now testing novel RAGE and RAGE-ligand inhibitors for their effects on tumor metastases in animal models. In the long term I hope my work will change the clinical management of breast cancer and result in an effective therapy to help treat this deadly disease.
