Introduction
Dr. Garret Yount directs a molecular and cellular biology laboratory focused primarily on helping people with cancers. He applies the most rigorous scientific standards in investigating both conventional and alternative therapeutic modalities. His research seeks to understand the mechanistic basis of cancer and cancer therapeutics using both molecular biology tools (e.g. DNA microarrays) and dynamic functional analyses (e.g. computerized time-lapse microscopy).
