What We Do
Using the latest advances in spatial and functional (single-cell) genomics, imaging and 3D
tissue modeling the Dries lab works at the interface of cancer biology, epigenetics and
transcription. By generating experimental data and applying computational and statistical
methods we aim to better understand - and intervene in - processes such as tumor
formation and treatment resistance. We are particularly interested in improving diagnosis
and treatment options for breast cancer and work together with our clinical collaborators
at Boston Medical Center to eliminate racial disparities in cancer care and research.
