DESCRIPTION:Dr. Elizabeth Murchison\n\n	Transmissible cancers are clonal c
 ell lineages that “metastasize” between individuals by the physical tr
 ansfer of living cancer cells. Transmissible cancers are rare in nature\, 
 and are only known to naturally affect dogs\, Tasmanian devils and several
  bivalve species. Tasmanian devils – marsupial carnivores endemic to the
  Australian island of Tasmania – are endangered due to a transmissible f
 acial cancer that has spread widely and rapidly through their population. 
 The transmissible cancer f​ound in dogs is sexually transmitted\, and is
  found in dog populations around the world. Transmissible cancers are allo
 geneic grafts in their hosts\, and the mechanisms whereby they escape the 
 immune system are incompletely understood. Elizabeth will discuss recent g
 enetic analysis of transmissible cancers in dogs and Tasmanian devils.\n	C
