More from Awadalla Lab at #Bog22! Tonight I show how selection affects allele-specific expression (poster122), tmrw check out Tom Ouellette’s new method for cancer evolution (poster180) and on Friday look for Kimberly Skead to see how selection shapes blood cancer risk (poster214)!

Our latest work about the effect of recombination of Allele-specific expression is now published! Awadalla Lab Michelle Harwood @isamtalves Fabien Lamaze Hilary Edgington science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

.Department of Molecular Genetics, U of T PhD candidate Michelle Harwood led a study to find out what drives allele-specific expression using genetic data from CanPath that could have implications for how we understand the risk and severity of diseases like cancer. ow.ly/ABAW50K0vh4 Awadalla Lab

.Michelle Harwood is a PhD candidate in the Awadalla Lab studying allele-specific expression. This phenomenon, where one half of a gene is over- or under-expressed, can have implications for how we age and experience disease. Watch this Next Generation video to learn more.📽️

Busy day for Awadalla Lab at #ASHG22! This morning we heard a fantastic talk by Marie-Julie Favé about healthy immune aging. Nick Cheng is next to discuss cell-free DNA methylation for early cancer detection, and I’ll be at PB2511 this afternoon to talk about ASE during blood aging!

More from the Awadalla Lab today at #ASHG22: Elyssa Bader is presenting this morning in the platform session “the methylome and transcriptome of complex traits”. She will be sharing her exciting results showing how blood cell profiles can predict healthy aging!

Last day at #ASHG22 brings one more Awadalla Lab presentation! Kimberly Skead will be in the session“the past masters for cancer treatment and risk” where she discusses her work on how natural selection shapes clonal somatic structural variants in blood and their impact on cancer.

How do things like age, ancestry & environment alter our gene expression? This is a question Michelle Harwood (Michelle Harwood) focuses on in her research. In this Q&A, we talked molecular genetics, research & impostor syndrome. ➡️ bit.ly/3ndY2jX


Excited to share our work published today in Nature Communications on scATOMIC, a tool for pan-cancer classification of single cells in the tumour microenvironment from scRNA-seq data. nature.com/articles/s4146…



The Awadalla Lab visits Montreal for #GLBIO2023! Kimberly Skead and Ido Nofech-Mozes are presenting this morning in the cancer genetics session and I’ll be presenting my work on allele-specific expression in healthy aging tomorrow morning!



🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Michelle Harwood (Michelle Harwood) on her successful PhD defence yesterday! Learn more about Dr. Harwood's research in the Awadalla Lab at Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) : oicr.on.ca/the-next-gener…

Registration for the next CanPath trainee research webinar is live! Join Michelle Harwood and Umaimah Zanif as they showcase how CanPath data can be used to explore how age, lifestyle factors, and the environment affect gene and biomarker expression. bit.ly/CanPathTrainee…
