Michelle Dawson

Assistant Professor, Dept. of Molecular Pharmacology, Physiology and Biotechnology

The Dawson lab is focused on quantitative analysis of the molecular and mechanical profiles of cells in tumor and tissue microenvironments. Long-term research goals include: (1) developing novel therapies for metastatic cancer, (2) improving stem cell homing to tissues, and (3) using mechanics to guide in the development of tissue substitutes.
