Christopher Chidley is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology at Duke Cancer Institute. 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. Dr. Chidley's laboratory employs unbiased genetic screening, cell and animal models, and a variety of biochemical and analytical chemistry tools to identify critical small molecule transporters and characterize their functions. He explores how the tumor microenvironment influences cancer metabolism, aiming to develop metabolic strategies to suppress tumor growth and enhance precision medicine by revealing the determinants of drug sensitivity.
