What We Do

The Markstein lab seeks to understand the stem cell properties of cancer cells with the goal of developing new cancer therapeutics. We focus on cell-cell interactions within the stem cell microenvironment and on the plasticity of stem cell genome architecture. Our approach is in vivo, using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to screen for anti-cancer drugs and drug targets.

We are at the University of Massachusetts Amherst

UMass Amherst is the flagship school of the state of Massachusetts. Say some impressive statistics.

UMass Amherst

We are a member of the Molecular and Biology Graduate Program

We encourage students to apply. If interested contact us.
