Welcome to the Langenau Lab!
Overview of the Lab
Our research focuses on using the zebrafish to better understand human cancer and to develop novel insights into how it is that tumors can be remade following conventional chemotherapeutic intervention. Projects center on using cutting-edge live cell imaging to visualize tumor development in fluorescent-labeled zebrafish solid tumors and leukemia. Additionally, cell transplantation of tumor cells is commonly used to study cancer stem cells and self-renewal. Using conditional transgenic approaches and chemical genetics we are interrogating which pathways are used for cancer stem cell self-renewal and tumor growth.
