OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Uncovering intratumor heterogeneity with Bayesian nonparametrics
Carcinogenesis is an evolutionary process in which advantageous mutations accumulate over time and cells harboring these mutations give rise to new clones. The nature of this progressing disease makes time course analysis very difficult and therefore the composition of these clones is generally unknown. We will discuss methods designed to identify intratumoral cancer clones with different sequencing paradigms, namely bulk and single-cell sequencing. A common foundation of the methods is Bayeisan nonparametrics, by which the number of clones can be inferred in a principled framework.
Bio:
Ke works on statistical methods for quantifying breast cancer mircoenvironment from tumor images. His goal is to build probabilistic decision making machines to predict clinical outcomes (survival, relapse, etc), based on empirical features extracted from both tumor images and the associated molecular profiles (gene expression, copy number, etc).
