Laboratory of Hui-Wen Lo, PhD
Vivian L. Smith Department of Neurosurgery
University of Texas Houston Health and McGovern Medical School
At the forefront of cancer biology research, the Lo Laboratory at UT Houston and McGovern Medical School is dedicated to advancing our understanding of breast cancer brain metastases and glioblastoma.
Our lab fosters a collaborative and innovative environment where cutting-edge research is conducted to uncover the molecular mechanisms driving these aggressive cancers. With a focus on the biology of brain metastasis and glioblastoma, we aim to develop novel targeted therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes for patients facing these devastating conditions. Through creativity, teamwork, and scientific rigor, the Lo Laboratory is pioneering new solutions in cancer biology, neuroscience, and neuro-oncology.
