Genomic technologies offer the promise of transforming clinical care, but they also present challenges for patients and their doctors. Potential PhD projects that address these issues provide an opportunity to:
- Identify mutations that alter cancer risk and disease phenotype in families
- Develop new methods for evaluating genetic changes with unknown clinical significance
- Characterise the function of cancer susceptibility genes
