Cancer Center Seminar Series: "On prediction in complex systems"
Dec 7, 12p | WRB Auditorium
 Join us
Friday, December 7 at 12p in the WRB Auditorium to hear
Mohamed Abazeed, MD, PhD
present "On prediction in complex systems.
"
This seminar is presented by the GI Cancer Genetics Program.
As a physician scientist, Dr. Abazeed uses his experiences in patient care to develop a clinically relevant research program to translate laboratory discoveries into potential improvements in clinical care. His group has contributed to our understanding of the variation in the sensitivity of tumors to DNA damaging therapies (chemo-/radio-therapy) and its underlying genetic basis. These and other ongoing efforts in his laboratory are intended to provide a rational basis for preventing therapeutic resistance
in cancer.
