YouTube Summary: Our genetic information contains an "instruction booklet" of how to make up all the components in our body.  But when these instructions are interpreted the wrong way—or gene regulation goes awry—it can cause many diseases, including cancer.

In this month's Expert on the Spot, Prof. Chaim Cedar, of the Department of Developmental Biology and Cancer Research at the Faculty of Medicine, invites you to ask questions about the role of gene regulation in cancer.  Prof. Cedar will answer your questions in a follow-up video that will be posted here in two weeks.

We invite you to submit questions in the video's comment section or email [email protected].  Submit your questions by January 17th!
