Professor, UMMG Dept of Radiation Oncology, Miller School of Medicine, Medical Campus, University of Miami
Expertise
Dr. Welford has expertise in molecular biology, radiation oncology, and animal models of cancer, and focuses his research efforts towards developing novel strategies to combat cancer.
Dr. Welford's laboratory investigates mechanisms of radiation responses in cancer cells, the effect of hypoxia on cancer metabolism and signaling, and space radiobiology as it impacts radiation induced carcinogenesis. Dr. Welford's lab is interested in brain and renal cancer models, taking advantage of similarities in their poor responses to therapy and hypoxic phenotypes. His overall goal is to identify novel therapeutic pathways and targets.
