The Molecular Cancer Prevention Laboratory, led by Dr. Xiyuan Zhang at the Rutgers Cancer Institute, leverages genome-wide sequencing technologies to decipher the etiology and progression of pediatric sarcomas and cancer predisposition syndromes, particularly neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Our work is dedicated to enhancing the diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic utilities of molecular profiling, aiming to improve our understanding of cancer biology and benefit our patients with targeted therapies.
