OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Evolution of the Cancer Genome
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.
