Congratulations to @emmalyn_chen for completing her PhD in the @PspgUcsf program! Dr. Chen has done amazing work characterizing the utility of cell-free DNA in prostate cancer. She has been an awesome @WitteLab member and has a very bright future! @AvailBioInc @johnwitte
New @Wittelab study from alum @clintcario developing a #MachineLearning approach trained on 550 ICGC prostate tumors to create a broad, yet sensitive, cfDNA sequencing panel for detecting low-burden, heterogeneous disease. https://t.co/ZIxJjqz7wr
Kicking off 2020 with a new @WitteLab publication in @NatureComms from @Linda_Kachuri, showing a causal link between pulmonary function impairment and lung cancer risk using data from @uk_biobank & International Lung Cancer Consortium. @UCSF_Epibiostat https://t.co/ugyO1dJ3Mz
Packed room for Dr. Donnella’s PhD exit talk on “Designing rational combination strategies for overcoming drug resistance in breast cancer”! Can’t wait to see where you’re headed next 🤓@donnella_hayley@SBLabUCSF
We are hiring! Opportunities for statistical genetics, genetic epidemiology, and cancer genomics. 🧬 Looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic person to join our team! See job posting attached.
@MaikeMorrison was the most wonderful student to have in the @WitteLab this summer. Any PhD program would be lucky to have her as part of their incoming cohort!
Congratulations to Amgen Scholar @MaikeMorrison for completing her summer project: GWAS of immune response to common pathogens in the @uk_biobank! We wish her all the best as she enters her final year of undergrad and applies to grad school! #2019sfsrtp@AmgenFoundation

“There are no effective early detection tests for the majority of cancer types, and many deadly cancers are often detected too late. We hope our test may offer a chance to address these challenges,” said Jennifer Cook, CEO https://t.co/6y3966NSTL #DetectCancerEarly
Amazing. Lynne & Marc @Benioff donate $30M to @UCSF for new program to study causes of & solutions for #homelessness https://t.co/msWgamkmmL Initiative will be led by inspirational @MKushel & @ucsfcvp. @benioff remains remarkable force for good in SF/world #ZSFG@UCSFMedicine
Excited to be going back to @Cal to watch the premiere of #GameOfThrones with the linguistics club I was a part of when I was a student. That’s where I started creating languages. Delightful to come full circle. :)
Screening of @CancerCureDoc with Dr. Jim Allison, #NobelPrize winner for checkpoint inhibition, tonight 6:30-8:30pm at the Sidney Auditorium, Georgia World Congress Center! #AACR19 https://t.co/cY6smY9Xgm
Paul C Boutros @UCLA highlighting the confluence of low PGA (genome stability), low hypoxia (TME oxygen), and monoclonality (evolution) predicting less aggressive prostate cancers with improved outcomes #AACR19#AACR2019
Excited to be presenting my work on “Assessing the utility of cfDNA in identifying prostate cancer and characterizing tumor heterogeneity via multiregion WES” on Monday, April 1st 8AM Section 19 Board 10 https://t.co/zCcgW8AdNX Come say hi! @WitteLab@UCSFCancer#AACR2019
.@parkerici is harnessing the multi-omic data collected from their studies to accelerate research and deliver immunotherapies. Proud to have been part of the team and contributed with my work in assessing imputation methods for scRNA-seq. Can’t wait to see where they’re headed!
Even our interns are brilliant. Computational biologist Emmalyn Chen (@emmalyn_chen), a PhD candidate at @UCSF, presents on the promise of single-cell technology as a tool to help us create better cancer treatments for patients. #geneexpression#solvecancer
