Although it can be challenging to quantify overall research productivity in terms of publications from graduate and undergraduate research separately, it can be generally safe to expect lower publication counts from undergraduate research compared to graduate research. A survey study by Morales et al.14 on 536 faculty members showed that 39% of undergraduate research students mentored in the preceding 5 years did not publish while a survey study by Hall et al.15 on 280 graduate students showed that 13.6% did not publish.

Almost 60% of cases are encountered in developed countries. In India, the annual incidence rates (AARs) for colon cancer in men are 4.4 per 100000. The AAR for colon cancer in women is 3.9per 100000 (GLOBO. CAN 2008). There were marked developments in the chemotherapy of CRC in the last decade. Eight new drugs were approved for chemotherapy. The survival has doubled compared to 5-fluorouracil alone. KRAS testing opened an era of personalised therapy. Though on an average there are 90 genes mutated per cancer, only less than 20 pathways will actually drive cancer development. The available therapy with combinations for CRC is very expensive coming to $300000 for 24 months. Early detection of tumors and improved therapy has lead to improvement in survival. With the administration of the adjuvant 5-fluorouracil, an improvement in survival of approximately 30%, with an additional 20% improvement with the addition of oxaliplatin in stage III colon cancer is reported. Family history of CRC contributes only 25% thus most commonly occurs sporadically, suggesting a contribution for shared genes and environment.

One of the latest worldwide incidences and mortality studies of 27 major cancers reveals lung cancer being the pre-eminent cause of cancer death (1.6 million) when compared to deaths caused by any other types of cancer (http:// globocan.iarc.fr/Pages/fact_sheets_cancer.aspx). With no absolute prevention and definitive cure, finding a treatment for cancer has become a prime concern (http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/ fs297/en/). This research paper focuses on finding a potential drug that could help in curing lung cancer and multiple other cancers as the drug targets cancer cells overexpressing PirH2; a protein discovered belonging to the family of ubiquitin protein ligase (http://www. yourgenome.org/facts/is-cancer-a-genetic-disease). Lung cancer is one of the major genetic diseases causing death1 and it is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world. Lung cancer can be broadly divided into three types: Non-Small cell Lung cancer, Small cell lung cancer and Lung Carcinoid tumor involving carcinomas. These tumors originate from epithelia of the trachea, bronchi or lungs, most common of them being squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and small cell carcinoma. Amongst the three types mentioned, the small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is known to be most malignant. Cancer cells are very sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy, chemotherapy being an essential component of the treatment of all patients with SCLC2 thus lung cancer bears emphasis in the following research.","PeriodicalId":18585,"journal":{"name":"MOJ proteomics & bioinformatics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87555422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
