Cancer: A Systems Biology Approach to Understanding a Complex Disease

The event will feature a panel including:
Adrian Ozinsky, MD, PhD - An ISB faculty member who is currently focusing on developing new technologies for conducting experiments on hundreds of single cells rapidly and simultaneously. The information acquired through such approaches has the potential to significantly advance the study of many diseases, including cancer.

Dan Martin, MD - An ISB faculty member who focuses his research on the identification of prostate cancer biomarkers. Early detection of these signal molecules in the blood is critical because by the time symptoms develop, cancer that started in the prostate has often spread to other organs, making successful treatment much more challenging.

Kasra Badiozamani, MD - A Virgina Mason physician who specializes in radiation oncology, breast cancer, prostate cancer and bladder cancer.
