Biography

Kiven Erique Lukong is a Professor in the College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Immunology. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Montreal, where he focused on Biochemistry. His research primarily centers on breast tumor kinase (BRK) and its family members, FRK and SRMS. His lab's work highlights the implications of BRK overexpression in breast carcinomas and its associated cellular physiological impacts. Significant findings indicate that BRK activity is essential for breast cancer tumor formation and metastasis, with ongoing efforts to characterize BRK as a potential diagnostic and prognostic marker for breast cancer.
