Based on new advances in functional proteomics and genomics, Dr Kentsis will discuss recent discoveries of mechanisms of aberrant gene control in leukemias and somatic genome rearrangements in solid tumors, both of which can be leveraged for new therapeutic strategies for patients, including children and young adults in particular.
