Dr. Hauser’s research has centered on the interplay between the regulation of gene expression and oncogenic transformation. A major focus has been determining the role of the Ets family of transcription factors in cancer. His work has defined several distinct roles for Ets factors in mediating the many features of cellular transformation, and revealed unanticipated complexity in this transcription factor gene family.
