Support the Laboratory
The Birge Laboratory is a non-profit laboratory focused on the eradication of cancer. We conduct basic medical and scientific research on three areas:
- Immunomodulatory functions of Phosphatidylserine (PS) in the tumor microenvironment
- Mechanisms by which TAM tyrosine kinases (Tyro3, Axl, Mertk) regulate efferocytosis, immune suppression, and cancer progression
- Mechanisms by which epithelial cells invade and metastasize by Crk oncogene

The marathon is a metaphor for tackling cancer, one step at a time.
