Organiser

Dr Anne Pesenacker

Professor Trevor Graham (Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University London) will be speaking at the UCL Institute of Immunity and Transplantation Seminar Series on Thursday 4 March.

All are welcome to attend. Please contact Fran Jackson (f.jackson@ucl.ac.uk) if you would like to join the seminar, or meet the speaker.

About the speaker

The Graham Lab measure the patterns of clonal evolution that define carcinogenesis and develops novel mathematical tools for analysis and prediction. By characterising tumour evolution, the Graham lab aims to find better ways to determine prognosis and more effective ways to treat cancers. The central themes of the Graham lab are:

  • Characterising intra-tumour heterogeneity and using it to predict prognosis.
  • Understanding and predicting the evolution of premalignant disease.
  • Understanding how the clonal structure of tissues (particularly in the GI tract) shape patterns of somatic evolution.

The major tools of the lab are genomics, bioinformatics, histopathology and mathematical modelling.
