Translational Research Projects

To address the urgent need to improve the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer and bile duct cancer in both adults and children, the Mayo Clinic Hepatobiliary SPORE has four translational research projects that focus on hepatobiliary cancer.

These research projects apply a collaborative approach that builds on significant contributions to hepatobiliary cancer research already made by Mayo Clinic investigators.

Explore these four translational research projects supported by the SPORE:

• Developing a Diagnostic Test and Therapeutic Agents for Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma
• Therapeutic Inhibition of Fibroblast Growth Factor and YAP Signaling in Cholangiocarcinoma
• Inhibition of SCD1 As a Therapeutic Strategy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
• Development of a New Viral Immunotherapeutic Approach for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
