Surinder K. Batra Research Group

University of Nebraska Medical Center

Batra studies the molecular changes that drive pancreatic, ovarian, and prostate tumors. His laboratory investigates mucins and tumor-associated genes, linking altered growth and differentiation with potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Research interests include cancer diagnostics, vaccine approaches, monoclonal antibodies, and antibody engineering. UNMC describes a broader aim of understanding the mechanisms behind transformation and progression rather than studying a tumor as a single static state. The group offers prospective researchers a connection between cancer biochemistry and translational tools, where molecular characteristics can help frame strategies for detection and intervention.
