We are excited to share that the eDyNAmiC team has been chosen as a @CancerGrand, @theNCI & @CR_UK winner! #CancerGrandChallenges

Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) are small rings of DNA that help tumours evolve and evade treatment.
The eDyNAmiC team will look at ways to interfere with ecDNA, slow down tumour development & ultimately bring hope to patients whose cancers have become resistant to treatment.
