Funded Activity Summary

The emergence of cancer is caused by multiple mutations in normal cells. Recent progress has allowed the detection of virtually all mutations in a cancer genome. Although this has been enormous progress, it has become increasingly evident that only rare mutations are responsible for sustained tumour growth and treatment failure, while the majority of mutations are without effect. Our research will assist identification of the genetic changes essential to leukemia development, which will help develop new cancer therapies.
