Dr. Hardy is studying a process called oncogene-induced senescence, which stops tumor cell development thus protecting the body against cancer.  His goals are to improve our understanding of this process.  Dr. Hardy hopes to reveal ways by which oncogene-induced senescence can be exploited as a treatment for cancer.
