In a step toward a #liquidbiopsy for small cell #lungcancer, a Fred Hutch team led @DMacPhersonLab and @GavinHa have developed an approach that can distinguish several #SCLC subtypes from blood samples. bit.ly/3TUvFUr

So excited to share our work on tumor genomes of African ancestry in common cancers. We report several actionable associations, including a novel ancestry-smoking interaction impacts TP53 rate. More discoveries to come if we improve diversity in genomics! cell.com/cancer-cell/fulltex…

Have you ever wondered if 3’UTR point mutations found in cancer patients matter? We’re excited to share our new publication out today @CellReports, where we’ve defined how prostate tumor 3’UTR mutations affect molecular & cellular oncogenicity. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… 1/n

Thanks for highlighting this work on tumor subtyping from ctDNA. Congrats also to @Navonilde RobertPatton AnnaLisaDoebley and many collaborators @fredhutch @DanaFarber @StoverLab
A suite of new computational tools developed by Drs. @GavinHa and Peter Nelson at Fred Hutch could help scientists use liquid biopsies to get more information about tumor gene regulation. bit.ly/3WbioWS

Thrilled to share my views as a new PI!
💫Recruiting, securing funding, building a network – early career investigators face many challenges! In “The 2022 generation” hear the inspiring stories of 12 PIs who started their teams in the past year. #newPI #2022InReview nature.com/articles/s43018-0… rdcu.be/c1Ymf

Ever wonder wonder why prostate cancer cells become heterogeneous with treatment? @Alexrnagerm from @HsiehLab did for his @MCBSeattle PhD work and it is so great to see his paper accepted and out today in @eLIFE (elifesciences.org/articles/7…). Check out his tweetorial too!
I’m thrilled to report my first publication from @HsiehLab @Fredhutch which was accepted and published in @eLIFE today! Thanks to my fellow @HsiehLab members for support and encouragement over the years. See my first ever tweetorial below. elifesciences.org/articles/7… (1/12)
