Cancer

Every day, more than 1,500 Americans die of cancer – approximately one person every minute. Some of the most promising advances in cancer research involve finding the genetic markers that reside at the root of many forms of cancer. The HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology is a partner in a number of cancer projects including the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) pilot project, a National Institutes of Health sponsored initiative to further understand cancer causes that will create an “atlas” of genomic changes that lead to cancer.
