The position will have an integrated focus on fundamental mechanisms of chromatin-based transcriptional control and [...]
Unexpected findings in early-stage breast cancer initiation thanks to epigenetic editing. Research conducted at the Queen Mary University of London by Cancer Epigenetics Society Member, Dr. Gabriella Ficz and her collaborators, shows that an epigenetic alteration of just one gene is sufficient to drive normal breast cells to pre-neoplastic stages, a discovery that may [...]
Postdoctoral Researcher positions are available in the Department of Pathology at Duke University School of Medicine.

Previous research had unsurprisingly linked high levels of fine particulate matter in breathing air (also known as PM2.5) to lung cancer. A new study links PM2.5 in breathing air to increased risk of several cancers including liver, pancreatic, and breast cancer. For example, women had an 80% increase risk of breast cancer for every 10 [...]
