"We are very excited about this collaboration with Dr. Hahn, a renownedcancer investigator, and the Dana-Farber, as it allows for functional screensin diverse cell based assays embedded in a lab with extensive knowledge ofcancer", said Roel Schaapveld, Chief Executive Officer of InteRNATechnologies.
"These functional screens hold great promise to help us better understandthe roles of miRNAs in cancer and to identify potential treatment targets,"said Dr. Hahn of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
