Seven USC scientists have
been awarded nearly $1 million a
for research in the area of
genetics and developmental s
biology research which could
have long-range significance in .
the fight against cancer. 1

Philip Mirkes, spokesman c
for the team, said the efforts of
the USC scientists "are quite i(
diverse." "Although much of
our work is not directly related
to cancer research, our fin- s
dings will add to the body of
information which pvpnhmliv u
will lead to an understanding of c
how normal cells become
cancerous," Mirkes said. j*
