Abstract

To overcome the complexities of cancer and pave a path towards a cure, the McManus Lab is developing innovative approaches that consider both the genetic drivers of the disease and its interactions within the cellular environment. Join Dr. McManus to explore new technologies and methods to combat this multifaceted complex human disease.
