UCL Cancer Institute Seminar Series

Zuzana Keckesova is studying the molecular mechanisms of tumor growth and cancer metastasis. Her most recent research focuses on the ability of certain tissues in the body to thwart the spread of malignancy. This work has led to the discovery of several novel tumor suppressors and cellular pathways that affect tumor progression in breast cancer. These pathways may represent potentially important novel therapeutic targets. Dr. Keckesova received her Master’s Degree in Molecular Biology and Virology from Charles University in Prague and her PhD in Virology and Immunity from University College London, UK. A portion of her doctoral work was conducted at Columbia University in New York. Dr. Keckesova, whose work is supported by a breast cancer research fellowship from the U.S. Department of Defense, is the recipient of numerous other awards, fellowships, and patents.
