Matthew C. Weber

Matthew C. Weber serves as a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology & Genomic Medicine within the College of Life Sciences. His work bridges molecular oncology and immunotherapy, with a focus on translational cancer research.

Research Focus: Dr. Weber investigates mechanisms of tumor resistance and immune modulation, emphasizing:

• Cancer immunotherapy combinations to overcome treatment resistance
• TRAIL-mediated apoptosis pathways in pancreatic cancer
• Tumor microenvironment interactions and cytokine regulation
• RNA-binding proteins (e.g., HuR) in cancer cell survival
• Immunomodulatory roles of pregnancy-associated proteins

Publication Themes: His research output demonstrates consistent focus on molecular oncology, with recurring emphasis on: pancreatic cancer resistance mechanisms, death receptor regulation, HuR protein functionality, and innovative immunotherapeutic platforms. Recent work explores protein-based therapeutic engineering and immune cell modulation strategies.
