Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
In recent years there has been an explosion in both the amount of next-generation sequencing performed on cancers and in the number of computational methods used to analyse the generated data. Focusing on cancer evolution and heterogeneity, I describe the findings of my research through both large-scale projects such as the International Cancer Genome Consortium and smaller-scale studies of individual tumour types, including prostate, oesophageal, colorectal, breast and haematological cancers. These findings cover a range of topics, including: progression from benign neoplasms to cancer; mechanisms of metastatic spread; changes in mutational processes during cancer progression; variable subclonal response to treatment; the importance of the order of acquisition of driver mutations.
