Cancer
Cancer is a disease that involves abnormal cell growth and spreads to other parts of the body. There are more than 100 types of cancer found in human and majority (90-95% of cases) of them are due to genetic mutations affected from environmental and life factors. Understanding their molecular biology and cellular biology is key to the drug discovery for cancer treatments. Meiler Lab is dedicating our research to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and breast cancer, Which are the most common types of cancers in males and females, respectively.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In the United States, it is the leading cause of cancer death with an estimated new case of 235,760 and deaths of 131,880 in 2021 alone. ...
Breast cancer
Despite significant advances in medicinal sector breast cancer (BC) remains the major causes of cancer related death for women in USA and around the world. Different molecular signatures that drives BC are ...
Long QT Syndrome
Long-QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited (or in many cases drug-induced) cardiac rhythm disorder in which the QT interval on the surface electrocardiogram (EKG)—reflecting the time from initiation of ventricular ...
Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a condition in which control of heart rhythm is taken away from the normal sinus node pacemaker by rapid activity in different areas within the upper chambers (atria) of the heart. ...
