Resistance is futile: overcoming resistance to targeted therapies in lung adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
, 2017 The advent of genomics has led to the identification of specific "driver" mutations in oncogenic kinases, and the development of targeted small molecule inhibitors to block their tumor-driving functions.

Action of HMGB1 on miR221/222 cluster in neuroblastoma cell lines [PDF]
, 2016 microRNA (miR/miRNA) are small non-coding RNAs that control gene expression at the post-transcriptional level by targeting mRNAs. Aberrant expression of miRNAs is often observed in different types of cancer.

Utilizing Protein Structure to Identify Non-Random Somatic Mutations [PDF]
, 2013 Motivation: Human cancer is caused by the accumulation of somatic mutations in tumor suppressors and oncogenes within the genome. In the case of oncogenes, recent theory suggests that there are only a few key "driver" mutations responsible for ...

Detection of amplified DNA sequences by reverse chromosome painting using genomic tumor DNA as probe [PDF]
, 1993 A modification of reverse chromosome painting was carried out using genomic DNA from tumor cells as a complex probe for chromosomal in situ suppression hybridization to normal metaphase chromsome spreads.

A mathematical model quantifies proliferation and motility effects of TGF--$\beta$ on cancer cells [PDF]
, 2008 Transforming growth factor (TGF) $\beta$ is known to have properties of both a tumor suppressor and a tumor promoter. While it inhibits cell proliferation, it also increases cell motility and decreases cell--cell adhesion.

Cancer in Ancient Human Populations: Methods and Practice in Bioarchaeology and Paleopathology [PDF]
, 2020 Best Undergraduate Writing in Anthropology Award, 2019-2020Despite its prevalence in contemporary public health, research on the paleopathology of cancer is still extremely limited.

Utilizing RNA-Seq Data for Cancer Network Inference
, 2012 An important challenge in cancer systems biology is to uncover the complex network of interactions between genes (tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes) implicated in cancer. Next generation sequencing provides unparalleled ability to probe the expression

Genetic requirement for Ras in the transformation of fibroblasts and hematopoietic cells by the Bcr-Abl oncogene. [PDF]
, 1995 To determine the functional importance of Ras in transformation by Abl oncogenes, we used a genetic approach to measure the effect of impaired Ras activity on the ability of Bcr-Abl or v-Abl to transform cells.
