However, scientists from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell have joined forces on a research study that identifies the exact genes that delay or drive this life-threatening cancer. John Schimenti, a senior author of the study and a professor of genetics from the Department of Biomedical Sciences, stated that he had teamed up with Alexander Nikitin, his colleague who is also a professor of genetics in the same department and the respective members…
