Cancer Genetics
Cancer genetics research in the genetics program encompasses various aspects under the general theme that genetic and epigenetic alterations affecting tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes promote progression as well as metastasis of cancer. Our efforts are currently focused on the use of high throughput and traditional technologies to understand the genetic and epigenetic basis of cancer to invent new tools for diagnosis/prognosis, management and therapy of cancer.
