We study the drivers of cancer evolution from initiation to response to therapy. We are part of the Centre for Cancer Evolution at Barts Cancer Institute and the Francis Crick Institute in London, UK. Posts from Francesca

This is an important milestone: mutagenic drugs can increase TMB and induce a dMMR-like genetic profile, but do not improve response to immunotherapy in pMMR CRC patients. Some evidence of TIME remodelling, but likely not in the direction needed fro response... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Really enjoyed @mirjana-efremova.bsky.social talk on phenotypic plasticity in #ColorectalCancer
Super clear explanation of role of key genes ( #LRIG1 etc) in cell switch

Hi all, our lab will soon recruit a PhD student working within a very exciting MSCA Horizon Doctoral network working on ageing, UNION, which gathers some fantastic scientists. Please apply if your profile fits our project (see attached advert).
Looking forward to working with you!
