The Lupold Laboratory is a basic and translational research laboratory focused on the molecular biology of prostate cancer. Our mission is to define the molecular mechanisms that contribute to lethal prostate cancer for the development of new diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic strategies.
Our research areas of interest include major interests include microRNAs, RNA therapeutics and high-throughput screening approaches.
