Greg G. Wang PhD, associate professor of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics

Greg G. Wang, PhD, and UNC researchers recently identified a gene termed PHF19 to be critically involved in the development and progression of multiple myeloma, and also provided proof-of-principle evidence supporting pharmacological targeting of this pathway for therapeutics of this common hematological cancer.

This paper describes a ground-breaking multi-omics technology to discover drivers of proliferative and invasive breast tumors.
