Overview
Background
Dr Nones research program is focused in using genomics to better understand the molecular aspects of cancer development and response to treatment. Her work encompassed a series of cancer types including oesophageal, pancreatic, breast and lung cancers. Cancer genomics is impacting patient care through precision medicine. Her work is contributing to two areas: i) our understanding of tumour development and progression by identifying new genes and/or mechanisms that drive cancer progression or response to treatment; and ii) investigating steps to improve the translation of genomics into patient care to improve outcomes for cancer patients.
