Computational Approaches To Understand Chemoresistance & Tumor Evolution Using Longitudinal Clinical Data And Lineage Tracing, Sahil Seth
Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)
Tumors are highly heterogeneous and dynamic, continually adapting and evolving in response to their microenvironment as well as external perturbations. Multi-region (spatial) and single cell sequencing has enabled us to anatomize the heterogeneity further and provide evidence of its association with chemo and drug resistance. To investigate this further we took two different approaches to understand the chemo-resistance, and functional heterogeneity in Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and Pancreatic ductal carcinoma in situ (PDAC) from an evolutionary perspective.
The first approach was to leverage tumor profiling from an ongoing randomized clinical trial in triple-negative breast cancer (ARTEMIS) to assess mechanisms …
