Brittany L. Allen-Petersen studies the molecular biology of pancreatic cancer, focusing on how signaling proteins, gene mutations (such as Myc and Kras), and the tumor's surrounding support cells (fibroblasts) contribute to tumor growth, spread, and resistance to treatment. Her lab also develops laboratory models, such as mouse models and patient-derived cell cultures, and explores potential drug targets including enzyme inhibitors, to better understand and treat this disease.
