CETP Colloquium: mutations of epigenetic machinery in cancer

mutations of epigenetic machinery in cancer (led by Dr. Wang)- Mutations in genes that regulate the epigenome occur commonly in a wide range of human cancers. Dr. Wang will survey the nature of the mutations that alter the activity of a broad range of chromatin regulators, (examples include EZH2, ATRX, SETD2) and their roles in tumor development.
