Christopher Chidley is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology at Duke University since September 2024. His research focuses on the role of transporter proteins in nutrient and metabolite import/export and their impact on cell physiology and response to chemotherapeutics. Utilizing unbiased genetic screening, cell, and animal models, along with biochemistry, cell biology, and analytical chemistry techniques, his lab identifies critical small molecule transporters in various environments, characterizes their functions, and explores the impacts of the tumor microenvironment on cancer metabolism. This research aims to guide the development of metabolic strategies to suppress tumor growth and support precision medicine efforts by revealing determinants of drug sensitivity.
