Speaker: Seemadri Subhadarshini, Fields Institute Title: Dynamical modeling of proliferative-invasive plasticity and IFNγ signaling in melanoma reveals mechanisms of PD-L1 expression heterogeneity Abstract: Phenotypic heterogeneity of melanoma cells contributes to drug tolerance, increased metastasis, and immune evasion in patients with progressive disease. Diverse mechanisms have been individually reported to shape extensive intra-tumor and inter-tumor phenotypic heterogeneity, such as IFNγ signaling and proliferative to invasive transition, but how their crosstalk impacts...

In the webinar I will describe our use of genome data science to identify genetic contributors...

Speaker: Dr. Thomas Hillen Abstract: Tulips have captivated human interest for centuries, with their vibrant colors and unique shapes. Particularly striped tulips have been highly popular, leading to the “tulipomania” in the Dutch Golden Age. But how do the tulips get their stripes? Maybe Turing can help? CV: Dr. Thomas Hillen is Professor at the University of Alberta in Canada.
