Research summary
AI-generated

Keiko Akagi's research focuses on the molecular and genomic basis of cancer, including cervical, kidney, oropharyngeal, and urothelial cancers, using patient-derived organoids, mouse models, and genome sequencing to understand tumor biology and treatment resistance. Recent work also examines immune system responses to cancer therapy, such as how certain immune cells relate to treatment outcomes, and includes genomic resources for animal models used in virus research. This work combines cancer genetics, immunology, and model organism development to identify potential therapeutic targets.
