Laboratory for Disease Mechanisms in Cancer
Division
The Laboratory for Disease Mechanisms in Cancer conducts research into the link between the ribosome and cancer. The research questionson wich the laboratory focuses are:
1) What is the spectrum of acquired ribosome defects in cancer?
2) By what mechanisms do ribosome defects promote cancer?
3) Are ribosome defects therapeutically relevant?
