- Dr. Capobianco's research is dedicated to targeting cancer stem cell populations by dual inhibition of the Notch and Wnt pathways in upper GI cancers with novel experimental drugs.
- It is widely accepted that these properties of cancer are driven by distinct populations of cells termed cancer stem cells (CSCs).
- "We are honored to support this research into ways to destroy the cancer stem cell population in upper GI with novel experimental drugs," concluded Lynn DeGregorio, President and Founder.
