Section outline

  • Paper discussions will include description of figure panels included in the article by the students, who will be called by the class lead to provide context, describe the results in each figure, discuss the interpretation and implications of the results, suggest additional experiments or controls that would expand the implications of the results, and criticize the methodology, presentation, and description of the results in the paper. The main goal of this activity is to “act as peer-reviewers” and train critical thinking.

    We will discuss the following paper: 
    Hill W, Lim EL, Weeden CE et al. Lung adenocarcinoma promotion by air pollutants. Nature. 2023 Apr;616(7955):159-167. doi: 10.1038/s41586-023-05874-3. Epub 2023 Apr 5. PMID: 37020004; PMCID: PMC7614604.

    To help to introduce the topic of Cancer Evolution, Tumor Microenvironment (and Pancreatic Cancer), we are providing a series of recorded lectures from GSK. These lectures should be watched before the class. If you have any questions from these lectures, please, bring them to the in person class.
