Research summary
AI-generated

Katie Thies studies cancer biology with a focus on how the surrounding tissue environment, or 'stroma,' influences tumor development, particularly through a gene called PTEN and pathways like Jagged-1 signaling that affect stem cells in breast tissue. This work sits at the intersection of cancer research, genomics, and epigenetics (the study of how gene activity is regulated without changing the underlying DNA sequence).
