Dr. Stacy Malaker’s laboratory is pioneering the field of “mucinomics,” creating advanced techniques to analyze abnormal glycosylation— the attachment of sugar molecules— in cancer-associated proteins known as mucins. Her innovative approaches have significant implications for early cancer detection and the development of glycosylation-targeted immunotherapies. Dr. Malaker’s research is poised to impact the treatment of epithelial cancers, including ovarian, breast, and colorectal carcinomas.
