The molecular cancer biologists at Duke University seek to understand the complex regulatory mechanisms that
govern mammalian cell growth and differentiation, discern how these mechanisms are perturbed in malignant cells,
and how our knowledge of these regulatory mechanisms might lead to improved anti-cancer therapy. This research
covers the boundaries of disciplines such as pharmacology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and cell biology,
and has increased our knowledge of the basic mechanisms underlying growth regulation. To understand how and why
these mechanisms fail, and how their failure results in the initiation of cancer requires an understanding of the
