“This is definitely the first time we will be studying the genomes of local cancer patients at this scale and we are extremely excited at this opportunity.”
“I have been part of the historic Human Genome Project and also the C. elegans Genome Project, but our maiden effort here in Pakistan and the potential impact on cancer care and patient outcomes promises to be my most rewarding experience so far.”
It takes a village!
