Project Description

The project proposes to use a genomics strategy to test the hypothesis that diverse classes of compounds promote the development of skin tumors through common pathways and networks. The identification of candidate genes/pathways implicated in the process of tumor promotion will ultimately lead to new targets for cancer intervention/prevention and will likely make it possible to identify individuals with a high risk of skin tumor development.
