Yeh Lab
Located within the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Yeh Lab’s focus is to identify and study novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer in particular continues to be a lethal disease with few therapeutic options. Our research therefore centers on target identification through genomic, and more recently proteomic analyses of patient samples.
