This week’s interview was a great one! We had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Brian Haab.
Education.
Dr. Haab received his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 1998. He then served as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Patrick Brown in the Department Of Biochemistry at Stanford University. Dr. Haab joined the Van Andel Institute as a special program investigator in May 2000 and became a Scientific Investigator in 2003. Since that time Dr Haab has been running his lab working on a multitude of topics.
Research Initiatives.
Dr. Haabs laboratory is developing and using novel protein analysis methods to identify and study protein abnormalities in the blood of cancer patients. In the interview we covered a wide range of topics and questions. Here are a few...
How is it that certain proteins secreted from cancer cells can actually help cancers Progress?
What lead Dr Haabs lab to study pancreatic and prostate cancers?
Is there a higher degree of variance to the Glycans associated with pancreatic cancer?
How difficult is it to track such a multitude of structures, combinations, and changes?
What are some of the novel slide designs used in your studies?
These are just a few of the questions we posed in the interview with Dr. Haab. The complexity of his research and the magnificent accomplishments that are coming from his lab provides the listener with a great look into the research on cancers today. I highly recommend you take 25 minutes to listen to the interview with Dr. Haab. Also take a moment to visit his lab website to learn more about the research he is completing.
