Dr. Stark's lab studies how human cells respond to key signaling pathways involved in cancer and inflammation, including interferon, STAT, and NF-κB signaling. The research focuses on understanding these pathways and translating discoveries into improved therapies.

With a strong history of innovation in signal transduction, the lab identifies new uses for existing drugs and tests them in novel biological settings, advancing promising findings from preclinical models toward clinical application. One example is the development of PALA, a compound that has shown strong anticancer activity in preclinical studies, including a topical formulation effective against skin cancer.
