Excited to release my lab's first preprint! A foundational model for clone & epistasis-aware biomarkers. This approach addresses key challenges in understanding genetic interactions & clonal dynamics.
Looking forward to feedback & new collaborations! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Can't agree more.
PCF Young Investigator Awards recognize early career scientists poised to lead the future of prostate cancer research.
Andrea Miyahira, Ph.D., PCF VP of Global Research & Innovation, shares how these awards help accelerate promising research careers.

Thrilled to share the latest from @gungulati and team in collab with #MattFreedman. #LiquidBiopsy can reveal gene expression in cancer by integrating circulating histone mods and cfDNA fragmentation patterns. Excited to see how this expands the reach of precision oncology!

We infer earthquakes from distant vibrations and stars from photons emitted light-years away.
Can we reconstruct a patient’s tumor biology from the signals it sheds into blood?
Introducing APEX (Associating Plasma Epigenomics with eXpression), our framework for inferring cancer expression from plasma.

Cholesterol synthesis fuels androgen growth in SPOP/CHD1-altered #Prostate tumors. @Dr_Di_Zhao @MDAndersonNews joins @AndreaMiyahira @PCFnews a @NatureCancer study examining CHD1 loss and SPOP mutations in #ProstateCancer. The team demonstrated that combining FDA-approved atorvastatin with abiraterone showed synergistic anti-tumor effects in preclinical models. #WatchNow to learn more > bit.ly/49j6pQW
