Kenneth P. Nephew studies the molecular and genetic basis of cancer, with a particular focus on ovarian and breast cancers. His work examines how epigenetics (chemical changes that turn genes on or off without altering DNA sequence), DNA methylation, and gene-regulating molecules like microRNAs drive tumor growth, drug resistance, and cancer stem-like cells. He also investigates therapeutic strategies, such as combining drugs that target these molecular pathways.
