Human Oncology & Pathogenesis Program
The Adrienne Boire Lab
Research

Assistant Professor
My laboratory focuses on metastasis to the central nervous system (CNS), both leptomeningeal and parenchymal metastases. We employ multiple complementary approaches to identify and target cancer cell adaptations to the challenging microenvironmental constraints posed by the CNS.
