@HarvardBiostats PhD, but I dabble in mathematical oncology, data science, and machine learning.

Just published! We proudly present "Hallmarks of Cancer: New Dimensions" by Douglas Hanahan, the third update to the seminal series. https://t.co/bSer4maIjF @Ludwig_Cancer

Fascinating new insights into how cancer cells use and switch between different mechanisms of focal gene amplification (extra-chromosomal vs intra-chromosomal) to evolve resistance to drug treatment. Beautiful work by @graeber_thomas and team! https://t.co/33x2i9StwC

My Computational Radiation Biology and Oncology Lab @RadNetCRUKCoL @UCLmedphys @uclcancer is seeking a postdoc to work on theoretical modelling (integrated with experimental data) of glioblastoma radiotherapy resistance: https://t.co/LBSZ6qa0LC
DM me to discuss. Please RT.

Herculean effort from @KamPoels+colleagues to initiate a clinical trial based on a validated model of combination therapy in lung cancer. Happy to have contributed in the initial stages of model development and to see this finally out in @NatureComms. https://t.co/ZRJyrqFlTq

@jemarbather Congratulations, Jemar!!!

[Kam Poels @KamPoels]

@shaon_chak @NatureComms Thank you, Shaon. You are an amazing mentor and this wouldn’t have happened without you!

1/2 Our new study led by @oferfass found that among 🇺🇸patients diagnosed with early-onset #colorectalcancer (age <50):
1) younger age
2) Asian, black, or Pacific Islander race
3) not having a partner
were associated with having advanced (Stage 3⃣/4⃣) disease
