Research

Matthew Dean studies the early events in the disease development of ovarian cancer. His research lab is working to understand 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 molecular underpinnings of fertility and gynecologic cancer to develop new treatments.
