Targeting genes by the thousands

“We’re interested in seeing if there are things we can do to strengthen the natural defenses of the host to help them fight the infection more effectively,” said research team's leader.

Nicholas Navin, PhD, associate professor at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, elaborates on the promise of single-cell sequencing as an innovative, noninvasive tool for research and clinical use.

The center will be a key component of the Trial Innovation Network, which is the newest part of the Clinical and Translational Science Award Program
