Joe Gray: Genome Science and Personalized Cancer Treatment
Submitted by iw on December 22, 2009 – 7:29 pmNo Comment
Results from the Human Genome Project are enabling scientists to understand how individual cancers form and progress. This information, when combined with newly developed drugs, can optimize the treatment of individual cancers. Joe Gray, director of Berkeley Labs Life Sciences Division and Associate Laboratory Director for Life and Environmental Sciences, will focus on this approach, its promise, and its current roadblocks — particularly with regard to breast cancer. (59m 22s)
