Agilent Technologies Awards Microarray Prize to Dutch Scientist for Research on Tumor Suppressor Genes
Agilent Technologies Inc. announced that Klaas Kok, Ph.D., of the Department of genetics, University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands, has won 50 free microarrays in the Agilent Technologies Microarray Contest on the basis of his innovative research.
Dr. Kok's winning entry combines array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) with traditional gene-expression profiling in the search for novel tumor suppressor (TS) genes implicated in conventional renal cell carcinoma (cRCC). Nearly 100 teams entered the contest, which ran from November 2006 through January 2007.
"We congratulate Dr. Kok and are pleased to be supporting his research, which could have broad implications across many cancers involving tumor suppressor mechanisms," said Linda Roettger, marketing manager, Agilent Life Sciences Solutions Unit.
