Kimberly E. Foreman

Kimberly E. Foreman, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Loyola University Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine. Her research focuses on Notch signaling pathways in breast cancer and Kaposi’s sarcoma, with an emphasis on therapeutic targeting and tumor biology. Dr. Foreman earned her Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati.

Research Interests: Her laboratory investigates Notch signaling’s role in breast cancer tumorigenesis, cancer stem cells, and angiogenesis. Key areas include developing therapies targeting Notch pathways and understanding viral-induced malignancies like Kaposi’s sarcoma. Her work bridges molecular mechanisms with clinical applications in oncology.

Publications: Dr. Foreman’s recent work explores Notch inhibition in cancer stem cells, gamma secretase inhibitors for Kaposi’s sarcoma, and viral reprogramming of endothelial cells. These studies highlight her expertise in signaling pathways, tumor biology, and translational research.

Awards: No awards explicitly listed in the provided text.

Advising & Grants: No listed grants or advisees, though her research program suggests active collaboration in oncology and virology. Her lab at Stritch School of Medicine focuses on experimental therapeutics and molecular mechanisms in cancer.
