Dr. Scott Atwood
Associate Professor, Developmental & Cell Biology
University of California, Irvine
“Defining tumor recognition and regression in basal cell carcinoma”
Abstract: The Atwood lab is interested in how skin cancer develops and the ways to therapeutically suppress tumor growth. How normal tissue can suppress oncogenic outgrowth is of recent interest. This seminar will explore how basal cell carcinoma may be initially recognized by the tissue microenvironment and how the immune system interacts with normal and oncogenic tissue to suppress tumor progression.
Host: Yi Wang
Seminar will be held in person only.
