Course Objectives

Introduce students to the intricacies of translational research as it relates to Cancer Research

Promote the idea of graduate studies in Science (i.e., Cancer Research)

Give students the opportunity to do science: learn through applying your knowledge and exploring

Contribute to the process of discovery … and have fun while curing cancer.

The study of evolution rests on measuring changes in the frequency of (epi)genetic variants in a population. This requires measuring different clones in a neoplasm, which in practice entails: ❖ Isolating the cell population of interest (Flow cytometry). ❖ Extracting and assaying DNA in the purified population (Isolation kits). ❖ Measuring the frequency of (epi)genetic lesions in the DNA (i.e, DNA sequencing, Bisulfate conversion).

Measuring changes in the frequency of (epi)genetic variants in a population requires measuring different ________ in a neoplasm.

Isolating the cell population of interest in a neoplasm can be done using ________.

Measuring the frequency of (epi)genetic lesions in the DNA can be achieved through techniques such as DNA sequencing and ________ conversion.
