The Vasudevan Lab is located at the UCSF Mission Bay Medical Center in the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center Building. Our research focuses on studying growth factor signaling in cancer and development with an emphasis on neurofibromatosis and nervous system tumors.
We leverage a multidisciplinary approach combining primary human samples with cell culture and mouse models to understand how cancers develop and discover new therapeutic approaches. Our diverse team is comprised of biologists, clinicians, and engineers with the single goal of advancing patient care.
We place a premium on mentorship and career development for all members of our team, and a core component of the lab is to maximize each individual's growth, recognizing that all of us are lifelong learners.
