Dr. Parag Mallick's Research Featured in the Stanford Report

August 24, 2016

Radiology's Parag Mallick, PhD and his cancer research have been featured by Stanford Medicine News.

In the article, Dr. Mallick eloquently relates cancer cell behavior to a flock of birds. He describes how studying the movement of one bird at a time would not be effective in predicting the flock's movement. 

The article also discusses how this concept can be applied to studying cancer cells and their transition to metastatic behavior. Once the movement of the group is studied and research begins to model why the transition occurs, then we may be in a better position to predict the cancer cell's transition to metastatic. 

Finally, the article talks about a remarkable virtual model of cancer that Dr. Mallick and his group are building and soon to release as a publicly accessible, interactive database. It is called Markerville. Dr. Mallick says about Markerville, "It includes both a model of cancer and a collection of data we’ve pulled from the literature about each protein."

Exciting research coming from the Mallick Lab; stay tuned for great things!
