Cell Cycle and Cancer Biology Research Program

Meet the scientists in this program

The Program in Cell Cycle and Cancer Biology focuses on basic biological processes that control cell growth and cell division. Researchers within this program use cutting edge technologies in molecular biology, genetics, and advanced microscopy to investigate the factors that regulate genome stability in experimental systems such as budding yeast, Xenopus laevis, and cultured mammalian cells. The contributions made by members of CCCB in illuminating the normal pathways of cell division and the malfunctions that lead to chromosome abnormalities have important implications for human diseases including birth defects and cancer.

The members of CCCB place strong emphasis on research training of students and postdoctoral fellows.
