Publications from the RAS Initiative
The NCI RAS Initiative has a "hub-and-spokes" structure, in that its scientists work both independently and in collaboration with academic and commercial entities. The list of RAS Initiative publications below reflects the balance between the public responsibilities of the National Cancer Institute and the requirements of our external partners.
Authors who names are marked with an asterisk (*) are part of the RAS Initiative.
