First primary literature presentation

Group presentations on some excellent articles on RTK and Wnt signaling in cancer / cell biology/ development are upcoming - Fri., Oct. 16 and Wed., Oct. 28.
The main and background papers, plus more information are now available, in the Literature folder (above) and via links below.

The papers are complex and will require many readings (and, likely reading beyond the original articles), and coordination among all the presenters. You will want to get started as soon as possible.

See here for more information: 1st presentations

Everyone reads & studies - Teams Ecto & NC present
Beta-catenin deficiency, but not Myc deletion, suppresses the immediate phenotypes of APC loss in the liver

Wed., Oct. 28 - Misale et al., 2012
As above, everyone reads & studies - Teams Meso & Endo present
Emergence of KRAS mutations and acquired resistance to anti-EGFR therapy in colorectal cancer

First Lab will be held Wednesday, Sept 2

Please come to lab on Sept. 2, 2:30 PM in ST330, having studied the first lab handout and readings. This will be full-length lab. Look at the list of materials you need for lab in the syllabus; it is not absolutely essential to have all of these for first lab, but definitely get them as soon as possible. You will need them by the second lab. You will conclude the first lab by taking a quiz, including material from the assigned reading.
