Moffitt researchers receive grant to examine cancer metastasis of prostate -

Moffitt researchers David Basanta, PhD, and Conor Lynch, Ph.D., received a grant of U01 to study prostate cancer metastasis. Prostate cancer often spreads to the bone, and can cause painful bone lesions and increased mortality for patients. Their study will integrate molecular information, cellular and clinical in mathematical models to better understand the key factors driving the disease to help target when metastasis can occur and identify new therapeutic targets for prevention.
