Emily R. Theisen's research focuses on the molecular biology of Ewing sarcoma, a type of bone and soft-tissue cancer, with particular attention to a protein called LSD1 (lysine-specific demethylase 1) and its role beyond its typical enzymatic function. Her work explores how targeting LSD1 and related gene-regulation mechanisms, including the cancer-driving EWSR1::FLI1 fusion protein, might lead to new therapeutic strategies for sarcoma and other solid tumors.
