Research Abstract

We are involved in generating mouse models for human cancer and studying the roles of genes implicated in cancer initiation and progression. We use gene targeting to generate genetically modified mice. We have made mice with mutations in Apc, Mcc, N-ras, Smad2, Smad4, Msh2, Msh3, Msh4, Msh5, Msh6 and Mlh1. Many of these mice are predisposed to develop cancer at a number of anatomical sites, most frequently in the gastrointestinal tract. Some of these mice individually or in combinations are excellent models for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). We are currently examining the role of a number of other genes in the initiation and progression of a number of cancers with emphasis on gastrointestinal cancer.
