The Brattain Laboratory is focused on the identification and exploitation of novel molecular targets in cancer. There are two major areas of investigation that are ongoing in the laboratory. One involves a group of molecules called receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK’s) and signal transduction while the other deals with control of gene expression in cancer by HDAC enzymes that remodel chromatin and their inhibition of tumor suppressor activity by TGFϐ
