Armstrong Lab

The Armstrong lab studies epithelial and phenotypic plasticity in prostate cancer metastasis and therapy resistance. Epithelial plasticity is the reversible switch between cellular phenotypes that promotes invasion, chemoresistance, and metastasis. Our translational research group combines clinical genomics, liquid biopsy technology and preclinical models to understand the drivers of phenotypic plasticity in prostate cancer.
