Gabriella Lapurga

Gabriella Lapurga's work sits at the intersection of immunology and cancer biology, with a focus on how immune cells and signaling molecules like chemokines and cytokines interact with tumors, and on developing tools such as reporter constructs and drug screens to restore protective gene expression in cancer cells. Recent work includes efforts to identify compounds that reactivate RKIP, a protein linked to controlling cancer spread. This research area would appeal to students interested in cancer immunology, drug discovery, and molecular biology techniques.

Publication output was sparse and irregular through the mid-2010s to early 2020s but increased sharply starting in 2024, suggesting a recent period of high productivity.
