Exploring the Role of Epigenetic Modifications in Cancer Progression

Project Abstract

Epigenetic modifications play a crucial role in the development and progression of cancer. This research project aims to investigate the intricate relationship between epigenetic modifications and cancer progression, focusing on how these modifications influence gene expression and cellular processes that drive tumorigenesis. The study will explore the various epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs, that contribute to the dysregulation of gene expression in cancer cells.
