Technologies for doctors to make better decisions faster

Leveraging theory, computation and experiments, my group and I are creating novel measurement and prediction systems for integrated cancer biology. We work in translational projects on three frontiers:

cancer genome cancer tissue network biology
Tumour evolution Tissue context Interaction networks

(1) Revealing the mutational processes acting on cancer genomes, measuring their impact on patient phenotypes, and using them for personalised therapy decisions;

(2) Improved patient stratification, early detection, and prognosis by predictive modelling of tumour imaging and genomics data;

(3) Predicting strategies to overcome resistance and reduce toxicity by comparative network analysis of transcriptional responses to combinatorial CRISPR perturbations in single cells.
