Dr. Riya Haines is a distinguished researcher in the Department of Oncology at the University of Guelph, Guelph, Canada. Her work primarily focuses on the intricate roles of cytokines in cancer progression and therapy. Cytokines are small proteins that play crucial roles in cell signaling, particularly in immune responses and inflammation. Dr. Haines' research delves into how these molecules can both promote and inhibit cancer development, thereby influencing therapeutic strategies. In her 2024 publication, "The Role of Cytokines in Cancer Progression and Therapy," Dr. Haines explores the dualistic nature of cytokines as both facilitators and targets in cancer treatment. She examines key cytokines such as interleukins, tumor necrosis factors, interferons, and growth factors, highlighting their complex roles in tumor biology. Her work underscores the importance of understanding the tumor microenvironment and the multifaceted functions of cytokines to develop more effective cancer therapies. Dr. Haines is affiliated with the University of Guelph's Institute for Comparative Cancer Investigation (ICCI), which facilitates translational oncology research in companion animals. The ICCI manages clinical trials and the Companion Animal Tumour Sample Bank, aiming to advance the understanding of cancer and improve treatment options for both animals and humans.
