Novel Oncogenes in Breast Cancer Development
Abstract
The training to date in the laboratory of Dr. Channing Der at UNC/Chapel Hill has been excellent. During the past year I have tried to increase my knowledge of clinical aspects of cancer by attending medical grand round discussions that relate to cancer at UNC. In addition, the Lineberger Cancer Center holds weekly seminars with talks relevant to cancer biology from outside speakers which I attended. In the laboratory, I attended weekly lab meetings in which members of the lab summarized their work to date. We also hold biweekly journal club meetings primarily on the area of signal transduction and cancer biology. Within UNC, I have started collaborations with two faculty members; Dr. Carolyn Startor and Dr. Beverly Mitchell. Last summer I attended a Keystone symposia on "Oncogene Networks in Signal Transduction", last fall I attended an AACR meeting on "Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics", and this summer I attended a FASEB meeting on "The Ras Superfamily of Small GTP-Binding Proteins. I presented posters at all three meetings.
