The research of Odelia B Cooper, MD, focuses on pituitary tumors, with the goal of understanding signaling pathways contributing to pituitary tumorigenesis in order to develop new therapies targeting recurrent tumor growth and invasion. Based on her work on a rare subset of aggressive tumors, Cooper began to investigate mechanisms by which pituitary tumors progress from noninvasive to invasive behavior. This led to her interest in the ErbB pathway to see if these receptors play an active role in pituitary tumorigenesis. Cooper showed the clinical response of patients with aggressive tumors to ErbB targeted therapy.
