The
Przybyl Lab employs multi-omic high-throughput
experimental methods and bioinformatic tools to discover new therapeutic
targets and new markers for diagnosis and classification of soft tissue sarcomas.
The goal of our research is to develop clinically applicable assays and investigate new therapeutic approaches that will improve care for
patients with soft tissue tumors.
Sarcoma
is a type of tumor that develops in different types of connective tissues,
including muscles, fat, blood vessels, nerves, fibrous tissues, bone and
cartilage.
There are many subtypes of sarcoma, and they are classified based on
the specific tissue and type of cell of origin. Treatment of these tumors
depends on sarcoma type, location and molecular mechanisms driving
tumorigenesis.
July is Sarcoma Awarness Month.
