Cancer-Focused Research
Dr. Oliver is interested in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling organogenesis, with a particular focus on the brain and lymphatic vasculature. His laboratory focus includes identification of genes participating in the formation of the lymphatic vasculature, and the relationship between defective lymphatics and obesity. Currently he is extending this work to study how a defective lymphatic vasculature can impact the formation and grow of different highly vascularized tumors.
