Cancer Immunodiagnostics
Haab Laboratory
The Haab Laboratory works to enable more accurate detection and diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and to identify key factors in cancer progression and dissemination. Our approaches make heavy use of understanding the nature and functions of changes to carbohydrates in pancreatic cancer.
