Assessing Hallmarks of Cancer: Do the Cells Care?

Presented by Daniel Liefwalker, Assistant Professor of Biochem. & Biophysics, OSU

Twenty-four years ago, Weinberg and Hanahan offered a model to stratify the observable features of cancer into a framework of malignant hallmarks. Subsequent revisions have added additional hallmarks and a systems biology approach to characterize interactions among these hallmarks. This talk will focus on a new model of cancer as a complex system with increased range of potential behaviors and exploitable therapeutic tipping points.
