Molecular Oncology

Dr. Mark Adler, Institute Director, heads the Molecular Oncology Diagnostics and Second Opinion Initiative, a new generation-platform for developing treatments tailored to the individual patient. It involves the application of sensitive molecular tests to the determination of a tumor’s drug sensitivity and resistance. In addition a person’s hereditary traits and a tumor’s genetic signature will be used to determine how best to eliminate a given cancer with a specific therapy or agent.
