Professor Fata investigates normal tissue biology and cancer. His areas of focus include, signaling cascades that regulate mammary gland biology and breast cancer, plant-derived anti-cancer agents, and diagnostic imaging for cervical pathologies. Professor Fata is also a Faculty member of the City University of New York (CUNY) Biochemistry and Biology Doctoral Programs. If you are interested in joining Dr. Fata’s lab and possess a passion for the sciences and the willingness to work hard toward your goals please contact him.
