Introduction to Molecular Techniques
https://le.ac.uk/modules/2024/mb7001
Module code: MB7001 Searching for novel cancer-causing genes researchers requires methods for manipulating the genetic material. For example, molecular cloning allows us to study the function of a gene and how cell behaviour is affected when that gene is altered in cancer.

Study creates first 3D vision of cancer target
https://le.ac.uk/news/2016/january/study-creates-first-3d-vision-of-cancer-target
A team from the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology has for the first time published a detailed description of a protein linked to many types of cancer. The lab-based study now provides an opportunity for scientists to develop drugs to target this protein.
