Research Abstract

Dr. Flaherty's research focuses on the understanding of novel, molecularly targeted therapies in cancer. In this context he focused on the development of response and predictive biomarkers to define the mechanisms of action and resistance of novel therapies, as well as to identify the optimal target population.
