The functional response of the lymphatic system to many diseases remains enigmatic. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the Jones Laboratory focuses on the role of the lymphatic system towards the progression of cancer. Using murine models of cancer metastasis, our future studies will continue to investigate how\u00a0cancer cells survive, proliferate, and overcome immune surveillance within the lymphatic system, en route to forming local and distant metastases.\u00a0Our\u00a0goal is to identify molecular targets for future therapies that will enhance lymphatic system\u00a0function following disease-mediated dysfunction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assistant Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine BS, Morehouse College PhD, Yale University Postdoctoral training, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School BUMC Research Profile\u00a0 The lymphatic system is\u00a0an intricate network of tissues and organs that recycles biomolecules, eliminates waste, maintains fluid balance, and facilitates antigen-specific immune responses.
