Massagué, Joan

Joan Massagué is a prominent cancer researcher known for his work on how cancer spreads (metastasis). He studies the molecular mechanisms that enable cancer cells to migrate and invade other parts of the body. His research helps identify potential targets for therapies aimed at preventing or reducing metastasis, which is often responsible for cancer-related deaths. Based at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, he has contributed significantly to understanding tumor biology and the development of treatments to improve patient outcomes.
