Everyone better get ready for #Stallone at #AGTA19 Andrew Pattison got some variant calling from RNAseq to show us. Who excited?
Cancers of unmet need, such as pancreatic, are hard to tackle as they don’t respond to standard therapies, there are few cases to use as comparison, and are difficult to diagnose with potentially little information to track their origin Sean Grimmond #monlunchlive
“Every cancer is a results of genetic scars, which is damage that occurs to DNA over time. By combining sequencing of the whole #cancer #genome with a suite of analysis tools, we can characterise every genetic change found in a cancer." Prof Sean Grimmond pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/the-g…
Dr RichTothill's Rare Disease Oncogenomics (RADIO) Lab is working to improve outcomes in rare and less common cancers through development of better diagnostic and prognostic clinical tests, targeted treatments, ad predictive markers of therapeutic response. #LorneCancer research.unimelb.edu.au/centre-for-can…
#UMCCRSeminar: The Rare Disease Oncogenomics (RADIO) Lab is investigating an understudied type of T cell infiltrating Merkel cell carcinoma—a rare but aggressive #skincancer—with likely prognostic and therapeutic significance for patients. Register >> research.unimelb.edu.au/centre-for-can…
Congratulations RichTothill and the SUPER team Linda Mileshkin for receiving an #MRFF grant to provide diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities for unmet need cancer patients #cup #genomics #precisionmedicine
Excited to have the opportunity to receive MRFF funding to study a new type of PET scan to help improve diagnosis and treatment for patients with Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) together with fantastic team incl @UMCCR RichTothill BowtellLab
#UMCCRSeminar: Join Atara Posner of Rare Disease Oncogenomics (RADIO) Lab discussing the use of DNA and RNA sequencing methods to guide diagnosis and identify contemporary treatment options for cancer of unknown primary patients. Register >> mdhs.unimelb.edu.au/centre-for-can…
#UMCCRSeminar: Welcome Atara Posner of RichTothill's Rare Disease Oncogenomics (RADIO) Lab. The lab focuses on translational research of rare and less common cancers, using advanced genomic and histology methods to comprehensively analyse samples from cancer patients >> mdhs.unimelb.edu.au/centre-for-can…
4th highlight from our Nov issue: The teams of @shengli_jax, Joshy George from The Jackson Laboratory in collaboration with @UMCCR Rare Disease Oncogenomics (RADIO) Lab present a new tool for inferring #cancer tissue origin using #RNA expression data and #AI. Read🔓bit.ly/2Iv95AQ
Huge thanks to co-first authors Nick Gherardin, Kelly Waldeck and Alex Caneborg and many others who generously collaborated on this study. γδ T cells in Merkel cell carcinomas have a proinflammatory profile prognostic of patient survival cancerimmunolres.aacrjournals.org/content/early/…
