Great @TheACMG session today: “The New Era of Genomic Oncology”

All-star cast of speakers including @PughLab & standing room only in one of the main conference ballrooms!

I presented on “Novel Approaches to Cancer Profiling and Treatment Response Prediction Using Cell-Free DNA”

[Princess Margaret Cancer Centre Research @PMResearch_UHN]

Exciting new research in advanced melanoma shows sequencing T-cells can help predict and monitor response to adoptive cell transfer, a treatment using a patient’s own immune cells to attack cancer. Led by @PughLab & @MarcusButler_PM @UHN @pmcancercentre.
