Summary

Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics offers an accessible, engaging, and optimistic account of cancer biology for undergraduate and graduate students. Drawing on the latest research in this dynamic field, author Lauren Pecorino makes cutting-edge science readily accessible.

Using the hallmarks of cancer as a starting point, the text looks at the cellular and molecular mechanisms underpinning the transformation of cells into cancer cells. After discussing the theory, each chapter then demonstrates how this knowledge can be directly applied to the development of new targeted therapies, giving students a clear appreciation of how the theory translates to tackling the disease.

Molecular Biology of Cancer, Fourth Edition, features a variety of pedagogical features--"Pause and think," "How do we know that?," self-tests, and activities--to help students engage with, and master, the concepts presented. It provides students with a solid understanding of the essentials and an appreciation of how a theoretical understanding can be transformed into therapeutic benefit.

A Companion Website contains resources for instructors--downloadable figures from the book and a test bank of multiple-choice questions--and related web links for students.

Author Biography


Lauren Pecorino, Principal Lecturer in Cancer Biology, University of Greenwich

Dr Lauren Pecorino obtained her PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA. She then moved to London to carry out a post-doctoral tenure at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research where she studied the phenomenon of limb regeneration. Here she used a technique called biolistics, using a 'gene gun' to shoot gold bullets coated with DNA to introduce genes into the regenerating limbs of live newts.

Since 1996, Lauren has been a member of academic staff at the University of Greenwich, where she developed her interest in teaching Cancer Biology.
