About

Dr. Hassan Fazilaty from UZH's Department of Molecular Life Sciences reveals how cancer reactivates genetic programmes from embryonic development. Understanding these «oncoembryonic» signals helps scientists trace cancer's origins and develop more effective treatments. The lecture is open to members of Senior:innen-Universität Zürich UZH3 and non-members, held in English.
