Tumor Microenvironment & Metastasis (TMM) Research Program Members
Members of the TMM Program work to advance understanding of the role cancer’s microenvironment plays in the development and spread of the disease. Through deeper and more nuanced insight of the microenvironment, our scientists hope to shed light on the risk of cancer progression and metastasis and help improve patient care at our Cancer Center and beyond. TMM members also work to develop new preventive and therapeutic cancer treatments that can lead to improved outcomes and potentially life-saving treatments. Members are highly collaborative and work with multiple investigators internally as well as at other research facilities, and with patient advocates in our Bronx catchment area.
