“This proposal will allow my lab take a step towards designing tailored anti-cancer drugs that work exactly at the right targets and just for the right amount of time. It will also help us predict, even before they happen, the mutations through which the body can develop resistance against drugs, thereby helping us stay one step ahead of disease.”
