EVENT DESCRIPTION
Mutation analysis, expression profiling, and genetic screening have been instrumental in understanding cancer biology and tumorigenesis. However, it is often difficult to transition results from these molecular studies to the clinic. This session will present examples showing how expression profiling combined with TCR/BCR clonotype analysis, and in vivo CRISPR mutagenic screening using barcoded libraries guide libraries are able to uncover genetic targets with clinical and therapeutic relevance.
Speaker 1: Gus Frangou, PhD, Assistant Professor of Oncology and a Member of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Buffalo, NY.
Talk: An integrated multi-omics approach to identify molecular regulatory mechanisms in breast cancer development and progression
Speaker 2: Alex Chenchik, PhD, President & Chief Scientific Officer, Cellecta
Talk: Adaptive Immune Receptor Profiling for Biomarker Discovery
Introductory Remarks & Moderator: Paul Diehl, PhD, Chief Operating Officer, Cellecta
