Dr. Condie Carmack: Cancer Genetics Laboratory Baylor College of Medicine
Congratulations to Dr. Condie Carmack of the Baylor College of Medicine on finding the Golden Bioactive Small Molecules Catalog at AACR 2011. To win our first ever Twitter treasure hunt, he carefully followed clues on Twitter and tracked down the golden catalog awaiting him at the concierge’s desk at the Rosen Centre hotel in Orlando, Florida.
Condie Carmack of Baylor College of Medicine wins!
Dr. Carmack runs the Cancer Genetics Laboratory (CGL) at Baylor College Of Medicine. The CGL is a clinical diagnostic lab, where Dr. Carmack’s team develops genetic tests related to clinical outcome. The CGL provides gene sequencing testing, deletion/duplication testing, chromosome analysis, FISH testing, and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). CGL can provide cancer diagnostic testing services for both pediatric and adult cancer studies.
When asked how he began his 30-year career in Molecular Biology, Dr. Carmack said that his father was a doctor. So growing up in this environment helped to foster the interest he has had in applied biology for his entire life.
