John McDonald and Zainab Arshad have identified novel changes in gene network interactions associated with cancer that may lead to new treatment targets for chemotherapy. Their work, published in iScience (Cell Press), shows that more than 90% of changes in gene network interactions in nine types of cancer studied are not detectable by current tests focused on changes in gene expression.

In his tenure as a faculty member at Tech, Alonzo Whyte, academic advisor for both the Health and Medical Sciences Minor and the B.S. in Neuroscience program, has seen a diversity of routes that students take on the path to a pre-health career. Today he shares some advice on success stories, mistakes to avoid, and resources to explore.
