Bert Vogelstein

Bert Vogelstein is one of the most influential cancer geneticists who has made foundational discoveries in cancer biology. He characterized the multi-step genetic model of colorectal cancer, identified p53 as the most commonly mutated gene in cancer, and pioneered liquid biopsy approaches for early cancer detection. His work has fundamentally shaped understanding of cancer as a genetic disease.
