We look forward to continuing thee #NYCGRN First Tuesdays seminar series in 2023. Which cancer center should host next time? #GCCG #cancergenomics
Finally, @notsojunkDNA gave the #NYCGRN a look at preliminary results from a portion of the @polyethnic1000 samples. #cancergenomics
Next up at the #NYCGRN meeting was @landau_lab, who shared his lab’s approach to machine learning guided signal enrichment of ctDNA. #cancergenomics
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
