معرفی
Joyce Schroeder is a Professor at the University of Arizona, holding joint appointments in the Department of Molecular & Cellular Biology (MCB), the BIO5 Institute, and the Graduate Interdisciplinary Program (GIDP) in Cancer Biology. Her research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying cancer progression, particularly in breast cancer, emphasizing the role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), MUC1 glycoprotein, and microfluidic technologies for cancer diagnostics and therapy development.
Her work integrates cell biology, bioengineering, and oncology to explore receptor signaling pathways, metastasis, and therapeutic targeting. She leads a lab in Life Sciences South (Rooms 303/307) and collaborates on projects involving circulating tumor cell capture using microfluidic systems. Schroeder's contributions span basic science and translational research, with a focus on peptide-based therapies and EGFR nuclear localization in cancer immunity.
Key research themes include EGFR trafficking, MUC1 regulation of oncogenic processes, and the development of novel diagnostic tools. Her lab’s microfluidic platforms enhance cancer cell isolation, aiding in precision medicine approaches. Schroeder’s interdisciplinary approach bridges molecular biology, engineering, and clinical applications to address unmet needs in cancer treatment and diagnostics.
