Breast Cancer Evolution Through the Lens of Single-Cell Genomics

Presentation/Conference

April 20, 2021 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. ET

In this webinar, MD Anderson Cancer Center Professor, Dr. Nicholas Navin, will present on breast cancer evolution through the lens of single-cell genomics.

Dr. Navin’s group continues to pioneer the development of novel technologies for performing single-cell DNA and RNA sequencing, in addition to innovative computational and statistical methods for analyzing the resulting large-scale data sets. These methods are being applied to study cancer evolution in the context of invasion, metastasis, and therapy resistance.

Individuals who need reasonable accommodations to participate in this event should contact vanessa.torres@nih.gov. Requests should be made at least 5 business days in advance of the event.
