Dr. Robert A. Weinberg is a founding member of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. He is the Daniel K. Ludwig Professor for Cancer Research and the American Cancer Society Research Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Dr. Weinberg is an internationally recognized authority on the genetic basis of human cancer and was awarded the U.S. National Medal of Science by President Clinton in 1997.
"The book fulfills its purpose and is, indeed, a must-read for
students of cancer biology…It includes updated information and
concepts in cancer research that justify replacing the previous
edition."
- Doody Reviews "This publication represents an exhaustive and
detailed coverage of the field of basic oncology oriented toward a
student audience, and it continues to set the highest example of
excellence in the field of undergraduate and graduate oncology." -
The Quarterly Review of Biology "Clearly, not only is it an
authoritative text book on the complex biology of cancer, it serves
as an invaluable reference document for individuals working in
biomedical laboratories as well as professionals involved in day to
day management of cancer in the clinics." - Oncology News Praise
for the First Edition of THE BIOLOGY OF CANCER by Robert A.
Weinberg: “There is no comparable text in cancer biology…”
- Nature “The Biology of Cancer is no doubt the definitive
statement on its topic today.”
- Science “Here, at last, we have a definitive textbook
specifically devoted to the molecular and cell biology of
cancer.”
- Bioscience Education “Overall, this is a remarkable achievement
that is by far the most comprehensive coverage of this field
available.”
- Times Higher Education Supplement
