Welcome to the research lab led by Ethan Chen, Assistant Professor of Biology at Texas Tech University. Our mission is to delve into the intricate interactions between tumor cells and the immune niche, explore alterations in tumor metabolic pathways, and decipher the crucial role of tumor stem cells in the progression of tumors.

​

Using cutting-edge methodologies, we tackle pivotal questions in tumor biology, aiming to generate fundamental knowledge that elevates our comprehension of cancer. Beyond understanding, our lab harbors a profound commitment to long-term goals. We aspire to develop potential therapeutics that not only enhance responses to therapy but also contribute to reducing the mortality rate associated with various cancers.

​

Join us in our journey to advance scientific understanding, translate knowledge into impactful solutions, and make a positive difference in the community. Together, we strive to usher in a new era in the fight against cancer.
