Garrett M. Brodeur Laboratory
Led by Garrett M. Brodeur, MD researchers in the Brodeur Laboratory are focused on identifying the major genes, proteins and oncogenic pathways that are responsible for the malignant transformation and disease progression of neuroblastomas. The ultimate goal of the research conducted in this laboratory is to develop targeted cancer therapies to treat neuroblastomas that are more effective and less toxic than current neuroblastoma treatment options.
