Biologist receives NIH grant to build software tools to predict cancer drug efficacy – News-Medical.net

One of the most promising areas of human cancer research is the study of signal transduction, or cell signaling. Communication between and within cells in the body is accomplished through signal transduction, as stimuli generated in one part of an organism travels through the circulatory system and initiates a response in specific target cells.
As cells mutate, they can affect these signaling networks, causing the formation and growth of cancer. Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation…
