How does AR activation affect gene expression? Our new paper shows it’s less about creating new loops and more about amplifying contact frequency in existing ones. Explore in Nature Communications (rdcu.be/dYYOL) Tweetorial below: #AR #Epigenetics #prostatecancer

Our paper out today in Nature Communications analyzed plasma from the phase 3 Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology A031201 trial using the AR-ctDETECT assay. Patients positive for circulating tumor DNA had poor overall survival despite treatment with potent AR inhibitors. rdcu.be/d28wf

The last time Felix stood on our stage, after a beautiful talk by Misha Beltran & intro by @AminaZoubeidi 💔💔💔 vimeo.com/1037583309/b7d…

Riaz Gillani & Ryan Collins - we studied a type of inherited genetic event (structural variants) + risk of developing certain cancers in kids: Dana-Farber News Dana-Farber Division of Population Sciences Boston Children's Broad Institute Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…


🔥 ctDNA Testing: Smoke Detector vs. Fire Investigation! 🔥 Nice analogy by Alex Wyatt 🧬🧬🧬Not all ctDNA tests serve the same purpose! Some detect cancer early (like a smoke detector), while others characterizetumor properties to guide treatment (like a fire


Elegant presentation from Alex Wyatt on the evolution of ctDNA detection and characterization! Session chaired by Dana-Farber Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology's joaquim bellmunt and Barts Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre 's Bernadett Szabados #GU25 ASCO OncoAlert OncLive.com



Stunning research from Edmond Kwan on ctDNA in theranostics: 🧬Low ctDNA predicts better response with ¹⁷⁷Lu-PSMA-617 vs. cabazitaxel chemotherapy ⚠️PTEN alterations linked to worse outcomes on cabazitaxel 🧪ATM defects tied to favorable PSMA-617 results 🩻PET quantitative



So many to thank that played an outsized role in making this possible. Special mention to close friends in Alex Wyatt lab for keeping me level-headed for last 2-3 years, Vancouver Prostate Centre for providing a home away from home, ANZUP for bridging my return home through





Understanding ctDNA technology applications for cancer detection and characterization. Alex Wyatt Vancouver Prostate Centre joins Ashish M. Kamat, MD, MBBS MD Anderson Cancer Center to break down the fundamentals of cell-free DNA and how ctDNA represents the tumor-derived portion of these fragments in the
