Carol Lange Lab
Dr. Carol Lange is a Professor of Medicine (Division of Hematology, Oncology, and Transplantation) and Pharmacology and the Associate Director for Basic Science at the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center. Her laboratory focuses on understanding the biology of steroid receptors (SRs) in breast and ovarian cancers.
Estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) are context-dependent transcription factors that are important for normal breast development during puberty and pregnancy. Dr. Lange researches the integrated actions of growth factor- and stress-activated signaling pathways, protein kinases, and steroid hormone receptors.
