Professional Statement
The Echeverria laboratory investigates the metabolic and phenotypic plasticity of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) that is refractory to conventional therapeutic treatments. The focus of the lab is to delineate the molecular and cell biological mechanisms underpinning mitochondrial and metabolic adaptations of TNBC using state-of-the art patient-derived xenograft mouse models and in vitro cultured human TNBC cells. The lab utilizes high-resolution microscopy, genome engineering, single-cell technologies, multiplexed tissue imaging, and metabolomics with the ultimate goal of combating tumor evolution to improve the lives of women living with TNBC.
