The Wunder Project supports the important research and urgent work of Dr. Curtis that is focused on characterizing the genomic determinants and dynamics of metastatic colorectal cancer towards the goal of earlier detection and intervention, as well as improved treatment stratification. A “Big Bang” model of colon cancer is challenging current thinking about how tumors grow. “Differences between tumor cells are pervasive,” Dr. Christina Curtis said, “yet the origins of these differences are poorly understood. What you see in the final cancer was there from the beginning.”
