About this Seminar

Dr. Diaz will discuss the impact of genomics on development, diagnosis and therapy of cancer. He will provide examples of how our knowledge of the cancer genome will transform how we think about cancer and how it will be leveraged to detect cancer early and cure those who have already developed the disease.
