The Raleigh Laboratory

The Raleigh Lab is located in the UCSF Mission Bay Medical Center in the Brain Tumor Center on the 4th floor of the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center Building. Our research focuses on understanding the genomic, biochemical, and cellular drivers of brain tumor heterogeneity and evolution. We integrate human samples with diverse preclinical models to study development and cancer biology. In addition to illuminating how tumors form, grow, and respond to treatment, our studies have shed light on new biomarkers and new treatments that are now being tested in clinical trials for patients. Our team is comprised of biologists, computational scientists, and clinicians who work together to advance our knowledge of cancer biology and improve treatments for cancer patients.
