Research Summary
The Eberhart laboratory studies the molecular genetics of medulloblastoma, glioblastoma, uveal melanoma and other tumors of the brain and eye. The focus is on the Notch and Hedgehog pathways, which play a key role in both normal brain and eye development and in neoplasia. We are currently analyzing the effects of Notch and Hedgehog pathway blockade on cancer stem cells in brain and eye tumors. We are also investigating the basis of the sometimes antagonistic effects of various Notch receptors in medulloblastoma and how this relates to their roles in neural stem-cell proliferation and differentiation. Finally, we are examining the role of c-Myc in the stem cell phenotype of cancer.
