Genetic mutations have been considered as a cause of cancer in recent decades. Modern post-genomic analysis methods such as proteomics and metabolomics enable researchers to discover completely new mechanisms for the development of chronic diseases such as cancer. Christopher Gerner of the Department of Analytical Chemistry and his team show in an interdisciplinary study an age-related mechanism for the development of blood cancer, in which genetic changes arise as a result of disease-induced cellular changes. The results are currently published in "Molecular & Cellular Proteomics".
