Excited to share our redesigned lab website! As our lab has grown, so has our scientific vision. Our work is united by one question: How does host physiology shape cancer evolution and therapeutic response?

Excited to share our new review in @GenesDev!
Cancer is more than a local disease. we discuss how tumors require whole-body metabolism to create tumor-supportive macroenvironment that shapes progression, metastasis and therapy response 👇🏻

That’s a wrap on #MRS2026! It was a pleasure to share our work on how the tumor macroenvironment shapes cancer cell fate and regulates dormancy. Proud of our trainees for representing our lab so well and brining home two Outstanding poster awards! @StanDrapela @MetastasisRS

It's time to rewrite reviews-aKG doesn't just regulate demethylation. Work from my lab and @mzspectrum demonstrates a new role for aKG in promoting histone acetylation and DNA repair through regulating carnitine synthesis. Congrats @ApoorvaUboveja!

#FollowFriday Meet Joanne Tejero, PhD (@_JoanneTejero), of the Gomes Lab (@lab_gomes). Her research focuses on immunometabolism and tumor progression. She will present at #AACR26 on drivers of tumor growth and metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer, so be sure to follow . #MoffittAmbassadors

So proud of @zelenkt for taking home the Postdoctoral Presentation Competition at the @MoffittResearch 2026 Distinguished Lecturer Symposium! 🎉👏 #proudPI
And what a privilege to have Dr. Jennifer Wargo as this year’s Distinguished Lecturer, truly inspiring!

Our lab is recruiting both a postdoc and research technician to start in May/June! If you know anyone interested in investigating mechanisms of metastasis and immune suppression in cancer through developing innovative mouse models and studying senescence, please spread the word!

Honored to be recognized as the Research Educator of the Year. A PI’s real legacy isn’t just the papers they publish or the grants they win, it’s the people they mentor, the scientists, thinkers, and leaders who carry forward the values, curiosity, and rigor they helped cultivate

From "too old" to trailblazing, Moffitt is transforming care for seniors.
More than 30 years ago, Martine Extermann, MD, PhD, helped launch the nation's first Senior Adult Oncology Program at Moffitt, proving that age should never be a barrier.
The program pioneered geriatric he whole person—from nutrition and mobility to support systems.
For Christine Sam, MD, her passion began with caring for her grandmother. Now she ensures every patient's goals, whether staying independent at home or chasing grandkids, are part of their cancer care.
In the lab, Ana Gomes, PhD, (@lab_gomes) studies how aging biology fuels cancer. Her team is uncovering how metabolism, lifestyle and even existing drugs could reshape treatment for older adults.

#Perspective 🚨
Lazure and Gomes @lab_gomes argue that metabolic changes that occur as a result of #ageing may shape tumour initiation and progression and the development of metastatic disease.

So exciting to be an integral part of the project! Can’t wait to tour the Moffitt Discovery & Innovation Center with you when we are open for science!@PatrickHwuMD @MoffittNews COO Sabi Singh @Timadams2023 @LeeMoffitt
Today I toured our #SperosFL campus under construction in Pasco County alongside @MoffittNews COO Sabi Singh and Board Chair Tim Adams. Incredible to see the progress and vision coming to life, from the Discovery & Innovation Center to the Speros Outpatient Center and the Richard M. Sn Proton Center. Excited to welcome our first patients in January 2026!
