Biography

Marsha Rosner is a Professor at the University of Chicago in the Ben May Department of Cancer Research. Her research focuses on understanding the intricate signaling mechanisms that lead to the generation of tumor cells and the progression of metastatic diseases, particularly triple-negative breast cancer, which currently lacks effective targeted therapies. She employs systems-level approaches, including activity-based proteomics, RNA sequencing, ChIP-sequencing, and a variety of computational and cellular methodologies, to identify and characterize key regulators of tumor growth and metastasis. Her laboratory also investigates how changes in the tumor microenvironment influence the metastatic potential of cancer cells, including the involvement of extracellular vesicles. Professor Rosner has been recognized for her contributions to the field with several awards and honors, including the Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching from the University of Chicago. She has extensive funding from various NIH grants to support her research endeavors, focusing on the molecular underpinnings of cancer biology and therapeutic development.
