Carol Lange Lab
Carol Lange Lab
Our laboratory is focused on understanding the biology of steroid receptors in breast and ovarian cancers at The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. 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 research is focused on the role of steroid hormone receptors (SRs) in breast and ovarian cancer. Estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) are context-dependent transcription factors that are important for normal breast development during puberty and pregnancy.
My research program in the areas of breast and ovarian cancer is focused on the integrated actions of growth factor- and stress-activated signaling pathways, protein kinases, and steroid hormone receptors.
