Faculty members in Cell Signaling and Cancer study how cells sense and transduce signals, replicate, divide, differentiate, and adapt their functioning to the outside world. Techniques in this area include high-end microscopy, transcriptomics, proteomics, genetic tools, as well as structural and molecular biology.
