Cutting-edge cancer research right here in Charlotte (Queen City News)
News Published by Annie Szatkowski at Queen City News – When you think about cutting-edge cancer research, names like Mayo Clinic and maybe Johns Hopkins come to mind, but that same groundbreaking research is happening right here in the Queen City. UNC Charlotte has received national recognition for specific research that may just help find a cure.
In a small, unassuming space on UNC Charlotte’s campus, Dr. Shan Yan, a professor, and Associate Chair for Research, is laser-focused on something scientists know very little about but are trying hard to understand.
“My lab is focused on the molecular mechanism of genomic integrity and cancer etiology,” explained Yan.
