Using a combination of experimental and computational approaches, Mustoe is currently studying RNA metabolism in triple-negative breast cancer. In this cancer, there is often no single clear driving mutation that causes it, and Mustoe thinks it makes a good system for understanding the role of RNA in the initiation and promotion of cancer. But he says his lab is driven by the basic understanding of cancer mechanisms, rather than by an individual cancer type, and hopes his findings will be applicable to many different types of cancers.
