An integrated approach to predict and improve the outcomes of lung injury
Our long term goal is to attenuate the mechanisms leading to severe respiratory failure: we develop methods to predict the progression of acute lung injury and strategies to contain it, improving survival.
Circulating Tumor Cells and Cancer
The Circulating Tumor Material (CTM) Center, focuses on the identification, capture, and analysis of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from cancer patients.
