Understanding the Cellular Basis of Cancer

Mayo Clinic Cancer Center researchers in Jacksonville, Fla.; and Rochester, Minn.; are currently working on a wide variety of projects, with the overall mission of the Cell Biology Program to:

• Define the molecular and cellular basis of transformation of normal cells into malignant cancer cells, of growth of those tumor cells, and of metastasis of cancer cells to other areas of the body.
• Provide insights into normal and aberrant functions of genetic alterations found in cancer cells.
• Provide a solid foundation of outstanding molecular cell biology to support the Center's organ-based (prostate, ovarian, gut) cancer programs.
