Deciphering Prostate Cancer Language

It has been estimated that 1 out of 7 males will develop Prostate Cancer in the curse of their lives. Prostate Cancer arises when prostate cells begin to grow without control forming a tumor. During this process, prostate cancer cells release specific messages in order to continue their expansion and survival. My PhD focus on identifying and decoding those specific messages released by prostate cancer cells in order to understand their targets and which processes might be implicated directly by them.
