Talk Title: Inference of field cancerization using stochastic models to improve cancer control Talk Summary: Early cancer detection strategies focus on screening individuals to find obvious precancerous lesions and removing them when possible. However, screening programs often suffer from both under-diagnosis due to inadequate screening, and over-diagnosis due to ineffective patient stratification in surveillance protocols. […]

Talk Title: Molecular subtypes of Pancreatic Cancer and Ph+ lymphoblastic leukemia  

Talk Title: Somatic mutation and clonal expansion in normal tissues   Abstract: Cancers develop by somatic mutation and clonal selection within our tissues. Over the past decade, the ability to sequence cancer genomes has transformed our understanding of the genetics and evolution of a wide range of cancers. However, owing to technical limitations, little is […]
