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:
 |
 |
 |
| 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. |
