Turning Vision into Reality
-
A process has been developed that can be manipulated to kill tumor cells.
-
Research is underway in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the most common type of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
-
A new gene has been found which suppresses tumor growth.
-
Research is underway evaluating how pregnancy and growth hormones impact factors affecting breast cancer.
-
Ways have been found to enhance radiotherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer.
-
We have identified clinical and genetic features associated with the highest risk of conversion to fatal leukemia.
-
Novel mechanisms of regulation of the tumor suppressor protein p53 have been found. It is the main tumor suppressor in humans, and lost in over 50% of cancers.
-
A critical new pathway has been discovered in the development of leukemia, a cancer of white blood cells, and helped to identify drugs that inhibit leukemic cell growth.
-
Novel "gene signatures" have been identified that predict the response of breast cancer to treatment.
-
A new protein has been found that is associated with highly aggressive breast cancers.
-
We have recently uncovered a genetic link between hereditary breast and colon cancer that will help identify predisposed patients and ultimately guide the choice of treatment.
