Bakke Research
The Bakke Lab has been supported by federal, non-profit, private, and institutional funding and consistently provides meaningful, hands-on research experiences for undergraduate, graduate and medical students. Our research focuses on how cells communicate and regulate their behavior and how these signaling processes become dysregulated in diseases such as pancreatic cancer and glioblastoma.
Our current NIH-funded R16 project investigates key regulators of
cellular adhesion in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Using a
genome-wide CRISPR screen, we are identifying genes that influence how
cancer cells adhere, migrate, and spread.
Our also engages in a range of collaborative projects both within the university and with external partners, contributing expertise in cell signaling to advance understanding of diverse biological problems.
