BJALCF Sponsors Powerful Lung Cancer Genetics Research
April 29th, 2009
Lung Cancer research at UCSF is poised to leap forward, thanks to a big bank. No, not some teetering financial institution down the street. What UCSF has is an invaluable tissue bank.
When it comes to lung tumors, the quantity and quality of UCSF’s chilly-vault holdings are hard to beat. They’re a treasure trove that will help researchers determine how cancer survival odds and responses to treatments are affected by specific genetic abnormalities within tumors – and even by normally inherited variations in genes.
