    Michael Dean, Ph.D., biographical sketch and research interests - 1 year(s) ago

    Dr. Dean is interested in inherited (germline) genetic variation, somatic mutations in tumors, and the combined effect of both on cancer risk, progression, and response to therapy. He also investigates the genetic components of cancer health disparities in the U.S. and in Latin America.
