Powel Brown Laboratory

My laboratory is part of the Breast Care Center at Baylor College of Medicine located in the Texas Medical Center.

We are interested in identifying molecules that control breast cancer development by:

identifying the critical pathways that control breast cell growth and transformation,
investigating the function of the transcription factors that are activated by these pathways, and
identifying the genes that such transcription factors regulate.

These studies include molecular studies of gene expression, cellular biological studies of normal and premalignant human breast cells, and in vivo studies using gene therapy and molecule inhibitors in transgenic and knockout animals. Through these studies we seek to identify new strategies to treat and prevent breast cancer.

We also have many lab activities and parties, many of which can be seen here in our photo gallery. So come on in and take a look and get acquainted with us.

Cullen Building Our lab is located in the new state-of-the-art Alkek building and we have a friendly and open working environment. I am also a member of the Department of Medicine, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, and the Cell and Molecular Biology graduate program.
