Mat        Matthew E. Burow, Ph.D. Laboratory

                                  Mission

Dr. Burow's primary research interests focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms that control estrogen receptor- mediated gene expression and anti-estrogen resistance in breast carcinoma cells and the way that cell survival and apoptotic signaling pathways regulate the progression of breast carcinoma to a hormone-independent and drug-resistant phenotype.
