Breakthrough Cancer Research from Technion Professor Yehuda Assaraf

Professor Yehuda G. Assaraf of the Technion Faculty of Biology, is the head of the Fred Wyszkowski Cancer Research Laboratory. His primary area of research focuses on deciphering the mechanisms (i.e. genes and proteins) responsible for cancer cells' resistance to anticancer drugs -- the main obstacle to curing cancer. His research could pave the way for designing novel strategies to combat drug-resistant tumors, and lead to tailor-made chemotherapy treatment.
