Biography
Bert Vogelstein, M.D., was the first scientist to elucidate the molecular basis of a common human cancer. He and his colleagues demonstrated that colorectal tumors result from the gradual accumulation of genetic alterations in specific oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. His work forms the paradigm for much of modern cancer research, with profound implications for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
