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.
