Research Focus
Dr. Michael G. Goggins' lab at Johns Hopkins University focuses on improving the early detection and screening of pancreatic cancer, particularly for individuals at high genetic risk. The lab conducts multi-center studies to investigate the efficacy of novel blood tests and imaging techniques in identifying pancreatic cancer at an early stage. Their research aims to enhance patient outcomes through timely diagnosis and surveillance methods.
