Research Focus
Matthew Dean studies the early events in the disease development of ovarian cancer. His research lab is investigating how tumor cells recruit cancer-associated fibroblasts and remodel the extracellular matrix in the ovary during colonization. His goal is to study how the ovary is remodeled during the development of high-grade serous ovarian tumors so that, in the long term, the lab can understand the molecular underpinnings of fertility and gynecologic cancer to develop new treatments.
