We look forward to continuing thee #NYCGRN First Tuesdays seminar series in 2023. Which cancer center should host next time? #GCCG #cancergenomics

[Polyethnic1000 @polyethnic1000]

Finally, @notsojunkDNA gave the #NYCGRN a look at preliminary results from a portion of the @polyethnic1000 samples. #cancergenomics

[Polyethnic1000 @polyethnic1000]

Next up at the #NYCGRN meeting was @landau_lab, who shared his lab’s approach to machine learning guided signal enrichment of ctDNA. #cancergenomics

[Polyethnic1000 @polyethnic1000]

Our first speaker of the #NYCGRN meeting, @skimomiks, presented his team's work on "Long Molecule Footprints of Backup Repair Pathways in Homologous Recombination Deficient Cancers” #cancergenomics

[Polyethnic1000 @polyethnic1000]

Last week, researchers from cancer centers throughout New York City gathered for the first in-person New York Cancer Genomics Research Network Meeting #NYCGRN in 2 years! Hosted at @nygenome by the Genome Center Cancer Group #GCCG.

[Nicolas Robine @notSoJunkDNA]

Reminder:after a ~30 months hiatus, NYGC’s First Tuesdays seminar is back! I’ll talk about @polyethnic1000

[Francesco Maura @FrancescoMaura4]

174 - together with @pblaneynyu @DrGarethMorgan1 Kylee Maclachlan and the @polyethnic1000 we applied a more granular and accurate way to look at ancestry and racial disparities in multiple myeloma using #WGS data. https://t.co/MdcHgXAeEU 9/10
