Our program combines genomics, epigenomics, liquid biopsy, spatial profiling, radiomics, and clinical trial correlative studies to better understand tumour evolution, treatment resistance, and the tumour immune microenvironment. By leveraging longitudinal patient samples, high-dimensional molecular profiling, and close integration with early-phase clinical trials, our lab aims to translate biological discoveries into more effective and personalized therapeutic strategies. Our collaborations with clinicians, computational scientists, molecular biologists, and national cancer genomics networks uniquely position us to build a translational research program that moves discoveries from patients to the laboratory and back to the clinic.
