Testing the general population for cancer risk!

It is now set!
Our research in cancer predisposition in the general population is shaping up, the consent has been drawn, where to keep the blood well organized, samples will be collected at CRBCM.  they will be stored at the Biomedical science department at UTEP where they will ultimately be analyzed for various Mutations and overexpressions.   up to 300 samples are planned and already candidates are piling up in line.  People are interested in pure research!  We at CRBCM are glad of UTEP's DR Zhang leadership, consent has been devised.  Demographic questionaire is being developed, and cancer survivors are available.
we know cancer follow certain paths, we are going to test these paths on innocent bystanders.
Those genes that will be most expressed may enter a kit.
The testing is on!
