Funded Activity Summary

Cancer is a complex disease that involves the mis-regulation of genes and aberrant cell-cell communication . To help gain a better understanding of these processes it is possible to examine simpler systems. This proposal uses a unique cancer model in flies to understand how a change in cell fate can endow cells with the ability to continue dividing and invading surrounding tissues, thus driving cancer development.
