Cole Lab
Research in the Cole lab focuses on investigating toxicities associated with Pancreatic cancer and Rheumatoid arthritis. In particular, we utilize novel, longitudinal imaging techniques such as bioluminescence imaging (BLI) and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), along with combined techniques such as CRISPR gene editing, transcriptomics, proteomics, tissue culture, and histology to investigate the molecular mechanisms of disease-related skeletal muscle wasting.
