Welcome to the RP Lab
Welcome to the RP Lab at Loyola University Chicago. We study how long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) drive heterogeneity in ER+ breast cancer through their structure and function, and how transient oncogenes and premalignant microenvironments govern the earliest steps of malignant transformation. Our translational research integrates primary patient-derived organoids, mouse models, molecular approaches, and computational biology to connect fundamental discoveries in RNA biology and cancer genetics to novel therapeutic and diagnostic strategies.
