Cancer Genomic Medicine Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies how to examine genetic changes in cancer and use them in treatment.
AboutAbout the lab
Turning cancer genes into clues for treatment.
The Cancer Genomic Medicine Lab conducts research on cancer genomic medicine, which examines genetic changes in cancer and applies them to treatment.
Its research covers cancer genome analysis, genomic abnormalities and epigenomic changes, the development of new biomarkers, and molecular targeted therapy.
Professor Kinoshita serves as director of the Cancer Genetic Diagnosis Division at Hokkaido University Hospital, which is responsible for cancer genomic medicine there.
The Cancer Genetic Diagnosis Division analyzes cancer genes relevant to treatment and provides information on the drugs best suited to each patient.
Key terms
- Epigenome
- A system of chemical marks that determines which genes are active, without changing the DNA sequence itself
- Biomarker
- A substance in the body or a genetic change that serves as a clue to whether a disease is present, how well a drug is likely to work, and so on
- Molecular targeted therapy
- Treatment with drugs that act by targeting specific genetic changes or proteins that are important for the survival of cancer cells
ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts research related to cancer genomic medicine, in which treatments are chosen based on genetic changes in a patient's cancer. It works on cancer genome analysis, genomic abnormalities and epigenomic changes, the development of new biomarkers, and molecular targeted therapy.
