Research

The Beltran lab is focused on understanding mechanisms of treatment resistance in prostate cancer including lineage plasticity and the development of neuroendocrine prostate cancer
My lab is focused on understanding mechanisms of treatment resistance in advanced prostate cancer through the integration of clinical and molecular features of patients combined with preclinical modeling. We have focused on understanding mechanisms underlying an emerging subclass of androgen-indifferent prostate cancers that develop neuroendocrine features as an adaptive response mechanism upon selective therapeutic pressure of the androgen receptor (AR). We have used genomics and epigenomics to elucidate the molecular mechanisms driving evolution towards an AR-low state. We are developing tissue and circulating biomarkers and novel therapeutic strategies for clinical translation. Our mission is to make discoveries that improve the way we manage and treat patients with advanced prostate cancer.
In addition, within Dana Farber and through national and international collaborations, we work with a multidisciplinary team of scientists and clinicians towards the development of next generation molecular platforms and biomarkers for the clinical application of precision medicine across tumor types.
