Talk Title: mtDNA: the Cinderella of cancer genetics Abstract: Mutation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can have broad impacts on cell metabolism and organism physiology, and mutation of mtDNA is among the most common somatic alterations to the tumour genome. Mutation of mtDNA is an established cause of multiple hereditary metabolic diseases, with metabolic impacts on […]

Single-cell analyses of molecular profiles with in-situ detection methods dissect spatial heterogeneity of […]

For invited lecture recording, please click here Talk Title: Quantifying tumor heterogeneity in space and time Abstract: Tumors are heterogeneous mixtures of cancerous and non-cancerous cells that interact in distinct spatial niches and that evolve over time and in response to treatment. Recent spatial transcriptomics technologies measure RNA expression at thousands of locations in a […]
