Genomics Branch: Cancer Genetics and Comparative

updated on

Identifying and discovering genes that influence cancer progression and susceptibility is the objective of this branch.
Overview
The research study deals with cell mutations that have resulted in cancer exposure and progression of different aggressive cancers such as endometrial cancer, prostate, lung, bladder, gastric and neck cancers.
Inherited genetic mutation can result in the production of tumors that are acquired over time. Genomic alterations cause tumor growth and metastases in some cases. The investigation includes methodologies to expose genomic mutation that causes tumor formation and production.
