OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

We develop a novel method DeMixT for the gene expression deconvolution of three compartments in cancer patient samples: tumor, immune and surrounding stromal cells. In validation studies using mixed cell line and laser-capture microdissection data, DeMixT yielded accurate estimates for both cell proportions and compartment-specific expression profiles. Application to the head and neck cancer data shows DeMixT-based deconvolution provides an important step to link tumor transcriptome data with clinical outcomes.
