Excited to share new paper led by postdoc @JeffMaltas (on the job market!) out today in @PRX_Life (1/4 🧵) Frequency-Dependent Ecological Interactions Increase the Prevalence, and Shape the Distribution, of Preexisting Drug Resistance #cancer #ecology journals.aps.org/prxlife/abstra…
Excited to showcase our poster at #AACR on Tuba-seq and the latest innovation in lung cancer discovery! Visit Section 26 to learn more. #AACR24 #AACR #cancerresearch #lungcancer @AACR @CancerEvoLab @cwru @cwruSOM @cwruPostdocs
Add in some good statistical approaches to fit non-monotone growth rates and you have a nice complete method. Comments welcome!!
Proud of @cwrumstp student Eshan King for publishing 1st thesis paper this week @PLOSCompBiol! In it, we explore how #FitnessSeascapes encode multple #evolutionary trade-offs during changing drug dosing (either in space or time). Short thread journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…
So happy to share a Case spotlight of Dr. Athar Khalil - the CanEvo group wouldn't exist without Athar thedaily.case.edu/postdoc-spotli…
Come check my poster @AACR NCI-EROTIC international conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics A177 #Boston @CancerEvoLab
