Bryan Welm

Bryan Welm is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Oncological Sciences and Associate Professor of Surgery at the University of Utah. His research focuses on breast cancer, stem cells, and oncological sciences, with a particular emphasis on understanding the cellular origins of breast cancer and developing subtype-specific therapeutics.

Education:

• B.A. University of California, Santa Cruz
• Ph.D. Baylor College of Medicine

Research Interests:

Dr. Welm's laboratory is dedicated to understanding the molecular processes controlling cancer subtype determination. His work involves developing new model systems that mimic the cellular heterogeneity observed in breast cancer. Key research areas include determining the cellular origins of breast cancer and conducting chemical library screens to identify cancer-subtype-specific therapeutics using primary tumor organoids.

Publications Overview:

Dr. Welm's publications span a range of topics including breast cancer subtypes, tumor heterogeneity, stem cell biology, and chemical genetics. His work has been pivotal in advancing our understanding of how specific oncogenic pathways affect tumor composition and pathology, as well as in developing new therapeutic strategies for breast cancer.

Laboratory and Affiliations:

Dr. Welm is affiliated with the Molecular Biology Program and the Biological Chemistry Program at the University of Utah. His lab is actively involved in translational research aimed at improving breast cancer treatment outcomes.
