Pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly fibrotic cancer that is resistant to most therapeutic intervention. Our group is interested in representing fibrotic progression within in vitro models to determine how it may influence disease initiation, progression, and communication with related cell types in the tumor microenvironment. We do this with natural biomaterials that can be altered to include components of fibrotic progression.
