OxTalks is Changing
During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).

Learning germline influences on immunotherapy toxicities from thousands of sequenced tumours
Please contact adminsupport@oncology.ox.ac.uk for the Microsoft Teams link.
I am an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School. My lab is focused on statistical genetics approaches to understand the mechanisms of cancer risk, germline-somatic interactions, and response to treatment. We have led the development the Transcriptome-Wide Association (TWAS) and Regulome/Cistrome-Wide Association methodologies to identify cancer risk mechanisms using molecular and epigenetic data. We have also developed multiple methods to infer genetic data from large-scale tumor sequencing and incorporate Real World clinical outcomes for biomarker analyses, including the study of host influences on immunotherapy outcomes. Earlier in my training, I also worked on algorithms to identify genetic relatedness in large data, such as the GERMLINE method for efficient Identity By Descent detection.
