Description
The whole-body response to cancer
"I’m interested in studying the interactions between the tumor and the body in cancer. During cancer progression, we observe behaviors such as reduced food intake in the context of irreversible weight loss, as well as metabolic changes in the liver and the immune system. We are aiming to identify and characterize alterations in the whole body that are induced by cancer, and understand the combined effects of candidate cancer treatments on the tumor and the body."
~ Miriam Ferrer Gonzalez, Ph.D. Student in Residence, Janowitz Lab, CSHL
