Matt Hangauer, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Dermatology at the University of California San Diego. His research focuses on the biology of cancer persister cells, a subpopulation of cancer cells that can reversibly enter a quiescent state to survive drug treatments. Through his work at the Hangauer Lab, he seeks to discover the gene vulnerabilities of persister cells and explore the biological mechanisms underpinning this phenomenon, with the aim of translating these findings into novel therapeutic approaches. The lab is affiliated with the Moores Cancer Center and the UC San Diego Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program, and it actively recruits talented scientists from diverse backgrounds and levels of experience. Dr. Hangauer encourages interested undergraduate and graduate students to reach out with their motivation for joining the lab and relevant academic details.
