Harnessing Macrophage Polarization for Platinum-Based Therapy in Ovarian Cancer
Title: Harnessing Macrophage Polarization for Platinum-Based Therapy in Ovarian Cancer
PI: Dr. Yaorong Zheng (College of Sciences and Humanities: Chemistry and Biochemistry)
Co-PIs: Dr. Min-Ho Kim (College of Sciences and Humanities: Biological Science) and Dr. Manabu Kurokawa (College of Sciences and Humanities: Biological Science)
Dr. Yaorong Zheng, Assistant Professor in the Chemistry and Biochemistry programs, focuses his research on developing new approaches to improve cancer therapy. Specifically, Zheng and his team are exploring a new therapeutic approach that harnesses macrophage polarization and new platinum therapeutics to combat drug resistance in ovarian cancer. Ultimately, they hope their work leads to improved cancer therapy
