Topic: The Battle Within
Speaker: Assoc. Prof. Lina Lim

Abstract:
In this work-in-progress seminar, I will discuss my laboratory’s research on breast cancer. It is of utmost importance to understand the ways by which normal cells in the body transform into malignant cells, and how these cancers grow, and ultimately spread or metastasize. Through this understanding, we can attempt to alter the cancer phenotype in the effort to treat and prevent this cruel act of nature. Who will win in the end?
