Summary:

Dr. Chandler’s Laboratory, situated within the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC) is devoted to understanding how dysregulation of RNA processing contributes to cancer development and therapeutic resistance. Our research centers on defining the mechanisms that control alternative pre‑mRNA splicing of oncogenes, signaling molecules, and immune regulators, and on leveraging these pathways for therapeutic intervention across multiple cancer types, including liver and breast cancer.  Using molecular, genomic, and in vivo approaches, we develop splice‑modulating strategies, such as splice‑switching oligonucleotides, to restore tumor suppressor activity and disrupt oncogenic signaling networks.
