Research Focus: (1) Defining the molecular basis of LKB1-HIPPO pathway mediated tumor suppression in KRAS-Driven Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. (2) Identifying molecular convergence points between the Hippo Pathway and Phosphoinositide (PI) Kinases, with an emphasis on the Type II PI Kinase, PIP4K2s.

Evan Noch M.D., Ph.D.
- Instructor, Department of Neurology
- Post-doctoral fellow
Research Focus: The molecular mechanisms of endogenous tumor-associated necrosis in glioblastoma as well as the regulation of glucose metabolism using targeted therapies and dietary strategies to treat glioblastoma. Within this research program, he uses patient-derived models of glioblastoma to better recapitulate the human disease state and employs a wide variety of available technologies and core facilities within the tri-institutional community. He hopes to improve not only patient outcomes and survival but also overall well-being during treatment, particularly with respect to tumor necrosis that can be a devastating aspect of this tumor type and a major adverse effect of current treatment.
