Seminar Series: Andrew Hsieh
Andrew C. Hsieh, Fred Hutch Cancer Center
Professor & Associate Director, Division of Human Biology; Larry and Virginia Gordon Endowed Chair in Prostate and Bladder Cancer Research
Dr. Andrew Hsieh is a physician-scientist who balances the clinical care of prostate and bladder cancer patients with running a research laboratory at Fred Hutch. He studies how cells build proteins — and how cancer cells can co-opt this process to better grow and spread. Through these studies his team aims to develop new drugs that can selectively target these changes and ultimately impact the lives of patients with cancer.
The goal of the Hsieh Lab at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is to comprehensively delineate the fundamental role of mRNA translation in normal cell physiology, cancer etiology, and cancer progression. Armed with this knowledge we are defining the next generation of therapeutic vulnerabilities in disorders associated with translation deregulation such as cancer.
