Interface between Public Health, Clinical and Basic Sciences
- Molecular biology identifies genes that can be analyzed in populations or
used to identify subtypes of cancer clinically.
- Molecular tools (e.g., PCR) can be used in population or clinical analysis.
- Mechanisms by which identified environmental risk factors affect specific
moleacules or pathways in cells can be examined.
- How chemotherapeutic drugs work at the cellular level can be examined.
- New drugs may be tested or designed knowing how the cell cycle is controlled.
