Lily Wu is a Professor in the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at UCLA and serves as the Associate Director of the Institute of Molecular Medicine. Her research focuses on understanding cancer biology and improving gene-based therapies. Her team utilizes adenoviruses to create tissue-targeted therapies for cancer, employing targeted gene-expression approaches and molecular imaging techniques to investigate metastasis and advanced stages of cancer. They are particularly interested in how tumor blood and lymphatic vasculatures act as routes for tumor cell spread.
