Most prostate cancers are indolent and do not require treatment, while others can progress to a lethal phenotype. We will review germline and tumor whole exome sequencing data to identify mutations in candidate genes that are associated with lethal prostate cancer. This analysis will involve both statistical analysis of sequence data and lab-based, functional assays of candidate gene function. Interest in human genetics and cancer biology very helpful. Because we alternate with the clinic, we structure the tutorial to coincide with the clinic schedule here at the Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center. Therefore, we typically have the following time slots available: Monday: 8am-12pm Wednesday: 8am-12pm​​ Friday: 8am-12pm We ask each student to commit to a 4 hour time slot and to be consistent during the semester. I would be delighted to have you join us for the tutorial in the coming semester. As you determine your class schedule, keep these days/times in mind. Please let me know if you would be interested and, if so, which day/time would best work for your schedule.
