Research summary
AI-generated

Wessel P. Dirksen's work centers on cancer biology in veterinary species (dogs and cats) and related mouse models, covering topics such as prostate, thyroid, oral, and mammary tumors, bone metastasis, and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma linked to the HTLV-1 retrovirus. The research combines molecular characterization of tumor cell lines, animal (mouse and companion animal) models, and studies of signaling pathways like Wnt and gastrin-releasing peptide receptor involved in tumor growth and metastasis. This work may interest students exploring comparative oncology, veterinary pathology, or virus-associated cancers.
