Project title: The role of ATRX/DAXX/H3.3 chromatin regulation in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
Laura Banaszynski, PhD UT Southwestern Medical Center
- Status: Completed
- Year(s): 2017
- Grant Type: Investigator
- Research Type: Basic
- Primary Tumor Site: Pancreas
- Area of Inquiry: Mapping NET dependencies
General Overview
This proposal seeks to understand the role of ATRX/DAXX/H3.3-mediated chromatin dysregulation in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. These studies will identify important mechanisms of genome regulation, potentially transforming our understanding of neuroendocrine tumors with a goal towards the development of new diagnostic markers and possible new methods of intervention.
