Beyond Erectile Dysfunction: Use of tadalafil to remove immune suppression in the gastric tumor microenvironment

The Immunobiology Seminar Series presents: “Beyond Erectile Dysfunction: Use of tadalafil to remove immune suppression in the gastric tumor microenvironment”

Presenter Details

Juanita Merchant, MD, PhD
Professor, College of Medicine 
University of Arizona

The research of the Merchant lab focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying normal and pre-neoplastic epithelial cell growth in the luminal gastrointestinal tract. Their recent studies involve the use of animal and cell culture models to dissect the pathways through which chronic inflammatory processes, generally from bacterial colonization leads to mucosal alterations in the luminal GI tract that set the stage for neoplastic transformation (pre-neoplasia).
