Two postdoctoral positions in cancer genetics are available in the newly established human and cancer genetics group at UC Davis. The Carvajal-Carmona lab is a new UC Davis Genome Center research group interested in the genetic and genomic dissection of human diseases, with a particular emphasis in gastrointestinal, endocrine and women’s cancer. The group combines an experimental and bioinformatic/statistical genetics approaches to identify and characterize germline and somatic variants involved in disease predisposition and prognosis. The group is in the process of building a wet lab, bioinformatics and statistical genetics team to work on admixture and genome-wide association mapping, germline and tumor exome/genome sequencing and transcript quantification/ eQTL mapping. Our team is expected to maintain a close interaction with other Genome Center groups, in particular with the Bioinformatics and DNA Technologies Cores. There will be extensive opportunities to interact with clinicians, epidemiologist, biologists, statisticians and bioinformaticians in the Center and across the campus, including those based at BGI@UCDavis Center, one of the largest sequencing facilities in western United States and with members of the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, one of the only two NCI Comprehensive Cancer Centers in Northern California. The group also maintains close interactions and collaborations with several groups in the San Francisco Bay Area and with collaborators in the USA, Europe and Latin America.

We are looking for enthusiastic, career-driven and academically accomplished scientists to fill the following posts:

Bio-informatics/statistical genetics: The successful applicant must have a strong quantitative foundation and PhD in mathematics, statistics, bio-informatics or computing science.

Cancer Stages Biography

If you're diagnosed with cancer, you may then have further tests that can help to determine how far the cancer has progressed. Staging and grading the cancer will allow the doctors to:
    work out how large the cancer is
    whether or not it has spread
    the best treatment options for you
Cancer grades
Your cancer will be of a certain grade. The grade of a cancer depends on what the cells look like under the microscope.

In general, a lower grade indicates a slower-growing cancer and a higher grade indicates a faster-growing one.
    grade I: cancer cells that resemble normal cells and aren't growing rapidly
    grade II: cancer cells that have features between grades I and III - they don't look like normal cells and are growing somewhat faster than normal cells
    grade III: cancer cells that look more abnormal and may grow or spread more aggressively
Cancer stages
The stage of a cancer describes the size of a tumour and how much it has spread from where it started. Below is an example of staging that the clinic may use:
    stage 0: is where is started (in situ) and not spreading
    stage I: the tumour is less than 2cm and is not spreading
    stage II: the tumour is 2cm to 5cm with or without lymph node involvement (lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system). It has not spread
    stage III: the tumour is more than 5cm, or any size but fixed either to chest wall, muscle or skin, or has spread to lymph nodes above the collarbone
    stage IV: the tumour is any size - it may affect the lymph nodes but has definitely spread to other parts of the body

Thyroid Cancer Biography

In an attempt to put a positive vibe into the forum I highly recomend the use of Bio Oil on the scar.  I have been putting this on since my dressings were fully removed and it has done wonders.  It softens the would and so I haven't had any itching as you do normally if you cut yourself by accident.  It smells lovely and really does help to heal the wound and make the scar appear reduced.  Its not an over night miracle cure and the Bio Oil people do recomend to use it for at leat 3 months (I've been using it for 2).

Two weeks ago I was at the doctors and they have now prescribed me a silicon gel called Dermatix.  This does the same thing as bio oil but acts more as a barrier and will also help to reduce the apperance of the scar.  I put this on in the morning so that it protects during the day and whilst I am at work. You can even put make up on over it if you wish.  Since using this as well I have noticed a reduction in the redness around the scar. I then use the Bio Oil at night in a hope to benefit from both.
Hope this helps.

I have a bottle of this and I had been dabbing it on gently until the doc said give it a good rub and a bit of gentle massage. I think it's going OK. For the first couple of weeks after the stitches were out I used cocoa butter and I ended up with a really nasty rash.

Many thanks for the info. Do we need doctor's prescription for bio oil or can just go to Boots etc to buy it? Many thanks

You can get it in Boots, S'drug, Savers and places like that or there are good deals online - 60 ml from about £5-6, 200 ml from around a tenner.
It's widely available and popular with pregnant ladies for reducing stretch marks. I'd suggest to google it and use the 'shopping' search function.

It smells surprisingly flowery but it has a great reputation and a little goes a long way

Melanoma Cancer Biography

Source(google.com.pk)

Genentech BioOncology is dedicated to advancing the science of melanoma therapy through comprehensive research programs and education. Melanoma is the uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells formed in pigmented tissues. Melanomas can form all over the body.1

    Melanomas usually originate in melanocytes, which make the pigment melanin, although they can also form in other tissues, such as in the eyes or intestines1
    The most common sites for melanoma growth are the chest and back for men, and the legs for women1
        The neck and face are other common sites1
    Melanoma is less common than other skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, but it is far more deadly1

Melanoma Demographic Statistics

    Despite accounting for less than 5% of all skin cancer cases, melanoma causes the majority of skin cancer deaths1
    In 2010, over 68,000 people in the United States were diagnosed with melanoma and about 8,700 people died of the disease1
    Incidence rates for melanoma have been increasing for at least 30 years1
Melanoma Epidemiology
    Fair skin, light hair, family history of melanoma, and ultraviolet light exposure are all risk factors for melanoma1
        The lifetime risk of getting melanoma is about 2% for Caucasians, 0.1% for African Americans, and 0.5% for Hispanics1
    The 5-year survival rate for people with localized melanoma is 98.0%2
    The 5-year survival rate for people with melanoma that has spread to regional lymph nodes is 62.1%2
    The 5-year survival rate for people with metastatic melanoma is 15.3%2

Melanoma can be detected through self-exams and exams by healthcare professionals.3 Some potential warning signs for melanoma include asymmetrical moles; moles with irregular edges; moles that change color, size, or shape; and moles that are larger than 6 millimeters across.3 It is important to catch melanoma early, given the large increase in 5-year survival rates of localized melanoma compared with metastatic melanoma.

Lung Cancer Biography

Source(google.com.pk)

Geib, Margaret Mary, born Margaret Mary Gibbons on March 13, 1941 in Cleveland, Ohio, died at her home in Newport Beach on October 31, 1996 surrounded, lovingly, by her family and friends. "Maggie's" immediate family include her husband, Dick; two sons, Richard and Tom; a daughter, Katie; two brothers, Austin and Tim; and a sister, Kitty. Family and friends will greatly miss Maggie's love, laughter and counsel.

    A graduate of Holy Names High School and Holy Names College in Oakland (with time out for six months as a postulant at the Immaculate Heart Novitiate in Montecito), Maggie earned a California teaching credential and taught in the Oakland schools prior to her marriage in 1965. After raising her children, Maggie earned a doctorate in hypnotherapy and pursued this interest clinically and academically for a number of years. She also became intensely involved with "Continuum," a practice devoted to conscious awareness and spirituality.

    Maggie's numerous community activities included several years of work as an officer and board member of "Parents Who Care," an organization formed to combat high school drug use. Maggie took particular satisfaction in the activities of this group during the year she served as chairperson.

    Maggie was a gifted athlete. She won volleyball and tennis awards as a young woman; later in life, she took home trophies for her age group awarded in community 10km road races.

    During the last years of her life, Maggie traveled extensively. She and selected friends visited India (twice), Bali, Borneo, and Egypt; she visited Ireland, France, Austria and Mexico with her husband. These travels say much about the person she had become: energetic and endlessly curious, spiritually questing, eclectic in her interests, and sensitive to the interests and needs of people everywhere.

    A Vigil will be held in Maggie's honor at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 3 at Our Lady Queen of Angels Church, 2046 Mar Vista Drive, Newport Beach, followed by a Funeral Mass at this same location at 11 a.m. on Monday, November 4. There will be a reception at the Geib home immediately following the funeral. Maggie's remains will be buried at Pacific View Memorial Park in Newport Beach. The family asks that donations be made in lieu of flowers and be sent to Hoag Hospital Foundation Cancer Center, POP Box 6100, Newport Beach, CA, 92658.
