The Lyden laboratory studies how primary tumor-secreted extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) orchestrate the systemic effects of cancer: pre-metastatic niche formation, metastatic organotropism, vascular, immune and metabolic dysfunction. We are a large group of basic, translational and clinical scientists. The Lyden team has published paradigm shifting studies in Nature, Nature Medicine, Nature Cell Biology and Cell that have furthered our understanding of the metastatic process. We are committed to mentoring the next generation of cancer researchers and clinician scientists with the ultimate goal of improving cancer patient treatments and outcomes.
Affiliations
We are affiliated with the Department of Pediatrics, the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, the Meyer Cancer Center and the Drukier Institute for Children's Health.
