The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is active in both small cell and non-small cell lung cancer and provides a “don’t stop growing” signal to cancer cells. Dr. Robbins is working to identify and validate a panel of biomarkers that can be used to determine whether the lung cancer is sensitive to drugs that stop Hh signaling.
