Stacy Malaker, PhD

CRI Lloyd J. Old STAR

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.

Sugar molecules coat the surface of all of our cells and are invariably altered in cancer. My work attempts to monopolize these changes in order to identify new diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies.

You Can Help

You can help us make immunotherapy a cancer treatment option for more patients. Together, we can shift the focus from fighting cancer to overcoming cancer.
