Cancer Research: is basic research into cancer to identify causes and develop strategies for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure. Cancer research ranges from epidemiology, molecular bioscience to the performance of clinical trials to evaluate and compare applications of the various cancer treatments. These applications include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy and combined treatment modalities such as chemo-radiotherapy. Starting in the mid-1990s, the emphasis in clinical cancer research shifted towards therapies derived from biotechnology research, such as cancer immunotherapy and gene therapy.
Human microbiome projects have delivered our first glimpse into the microbial communities that reside in and on our bodies. Building on these efforts the research community has begun to corre...

In the case of Breast Cancer, the patient's cancer is usually detected by a mammogram or palpitation of an experienced Physician. However, these first indications that something is wrong must...
Matching the mutational profile of a patient's tumor with appropriate targeted agents is a goal of personalized medicine in oncology. The number of FDA-approved targeted therapies, as well as...

Germline cancer genetics became a reality with the cloning of the tumor suppressor gene RB1 for hereditary retinoblastoma in 1986 by Friend and Weinberg. The existence of cancer susceptibili...
Asthma is heritable, influenced by the environment, and is modified by in utero exposures and aging; all of these features are also common to epigenetic regulation. Furthermore, genetic varia...
I will discuss the use of genomic technologies - mostly ultrahigh-throughput DNA sequencing - to study normal human biology and to determine what goes wrong when we have disease. First I wil...
Cancer is complex, but recent findings are yielding a greater understanding of the disease. The tumor suppressor genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are implicated in breast, ovarian, prostate, and other c...
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and eQTL analyses are producing huge numbers of associations and show no signs of slowing. There are now more than 8,500 SNPs associated with more than...
Perhaps the greatest surprise of genetic studies of human disease is that 90% of top-scoring disease-associated loci lie outside protein-coding regions. This has increased the urgency of mapp...

Technological advances in high throughput, low cost DNA sequencing coupled with the availability of a high quality reference assembly allow us to interrogate the genome with greater precision...
A well done RNA-Seq experiment can provide the most comprehensive, accurate and unbiased way to study gene expression, alternative splicing, RNA variation and RNA structure. The past few yea...
