Hara Lab

This laboratory focuses on understanding how cells interact and communicate with their surrounding microenvironment in the complex tumor ecosystem and how cells process environmental inputs to exert functions. With our ability to measure (e.g. scRNA-seq), model (e.g. mouse models, spheroids, co-cultures), and manipulate (e.g. CRISPR) the complex process of cellular communications, our goal is to ascertain the mechanisms of cellular diversity and connection and leverage this knowledge to develop effective and precise therapies for intractable brain tumors, such as glioblastoma
