Creighton researchers probe secrets of skin cancer
Some of skin cancer’s most closely held secrets are currently being pried loose in a Creighton University laboratory.
During the past six years, Laura Hansen, PhD, and Sandor Lovas, PhD, have monitored two signaling proteins they believe might play a key role in the development of skin cancer.
The results of that research, which was funded by a grant from the state of Nebraska, were significant enough that the National Institutes of Health has provided a five-year, $1.7 million grant to keep the line of inquiry alive.
