Biography

Dr. Monte Winslow is an Associate Professor at Stanford University in the Departments of Genetics and Pathology. He earned his Ph.D. in Immunology from Stanford University where his research focuses on the mechanisms of tumor progression and metastasis in cancer. His lab employs genetically-engineered mouse models to recapitulate the histological progression and genetic alterations observed in human cancer. Winslow's innovative work seeks to understand the molecular and cellular transformations that occur during the metastatic cascade, aiming to identify therapeutic targets to combat lethal metastatic cancer. His research includes the application of genomic methods to study the alterations in gene expression necessary for tumor cells to invade blood and lymphatic vessels, survive circulation, and establish secondary tumors. Winslow's contributions have been recognized through multiple prestigious awards, including the Stanford University Graduate Fellowship and the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation Fellowship.
