Awards and honours

Allan Balmain has pioneered the use of the mouse as a model system for understanding the complexity of cancer at a genetic, molecular and cellular level. Through his novel and creative experiments he established the first molecular link between cancer initiation and carcinogen exposure, identified how specific genetic events lead to malignant progression and made major advances in our understanding of cancer susceptibility. Balmain's wide-ranging, innovative use of mouse genetics has generated new approaches for visualizing the genetic architecture of cancer pathways and the roles of complex network interactions in determining an individual's cancer susceptibility.[1]
