[CAMP Membership Roster] [CAMP Meeting Rosters]

The Cancer Molecular Pathobiology [CAMP] Study Section reviews applications involving the pathology of the malignant cell with the emphasis on mechanisms controlling cell growth and death, and the molecular events in gene regulation. Emphasis is on pathological approaches to oncogenesis and the basic cellular events involving growth of transformed cells. Specific areas covered by CAMP:

• Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and signaling transduction pathways in oncogenesis
• Gene regulation including chromatin structure and remodeling, transcription, RNA processing and stability, and translation relevant to oncogenesis
• Role of characterized stem cells in oncogenesis
• Cell death pathways (both apoptotic and non-apoptotic) and autophagy in cancer
• Mechanisms involving senescence, telomeres and telomerase regulation during malignant transformation
