John Krolewski

MD, PhD
Pathology

Special Interests:

The role of soluble mediators and the tumor immune microenvironment in the response of prostate cancer following androgen deprivation therapy. Identifying the immuno-suppressive cell populations involved in prostate cancer recurrence following androgen deprivation. In collaboration with Kent Nastiuk: determining the role of TGFß family members (myokines) in the onset of androgen deprivation therapy-induced sarcopenia and the role of myokines in tumor angiogenesis. Clinical cancer genomics and next-generation sequencing.
