Research project funded by the National Cancer Institute to study non-mutagenic factors in cancer risk and tumor promotion using multidisciplinary approaches and extensive human sample analysis.
Description
The project aims to advance understanding of human cancer risk factors, focusing on the role of non-mutagenic factors in cancer development. It involves multidisciplinary research including epidemiology, genetics, tissue imaging, single-cell transcriptomics, and genome-wide CRISPR screens. The study will analyze thousands of human samples from over 20 countries to develop a roadmap of tumor promotion and identify environmental factors contributing to cancer.
