Dr. Godbout’s lab is studying a number of different cancer types (glioblastoma, breast, prostate and pediatrics) to understand the underlying mechanisms driving cancer aggressiveness. Of particular interest to the lab is the family of fatty acid binding proteins involved in the uptake of fatty acids from the tumour microenvironment and the subcellular distribution of fatty acids within cancer cells.
