NCI and FNL Researchers Turn Lessons Learned into Stepping Stones

Imagine you’re building a dresser. You find all the wood and hardware you need and have the instructions, the right tools, and a team of professionals to help. As you and your team put it together, you realize that while the frame is solid, the drawers don’t open and close correctly. You might be tempted to feel discouraged by the results. But a group of scientists from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNL), and other collaborating institutions share a different perspective in their recent work published in PNAS. They weren’t trying to assemble furniture but rather generate a new, better mouse model of the most common kidney cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

Reminder: Medical Surveillance Forms Must Be Up-to-Date

If you work in a laboratory, or you have contact with animals or animal materials, you work with human biomaterials or infectious agents, or you are exposed to radiation or other hazards in your day-to-day duties, you should be enrolled in the appropriate medical surveillance program.
