Jason A. Hanna's research focuses on rare vascular and soft-tissue cancers, particularly angiosarcoma and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, studying the genetic and molecular changes that drive their development. A major focus is the role of microRNAs (small molecules that regulate gene activity) and genes like DICER1 in tumor formation, with work extending into potential drug treatments such as enoxacin and combined PLK1/mTOR inhibitor therapies. The lab also studies how tumors can promote cancer development in surrounding, non-cancerous tissue through immune system interactions.
