Funded Activity Summary

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide because there are few effective treatments for people with aggressive disease. The goal of this project is to uncover how normal colon cells suppress cancerous changes and to identify the important factors that colon cancer cells depend on for survival and growth. With this knowledge we can begin to develop more effective cancer treatments with fewer side-effects.
