Pugh Lab

Great @TheACMG session today: “The New Era of Genomic Oncology” All-star cast of speakers including @PughLab & standing room only in one of the main conference ballrooms! I presented on “Novel Approaches to Cancer Profiling and Treatment Response Prediction Using Cell-Free DNA”

Exciting new research in advanced melanoma shows sequencing T-cells can help predict and monitor response to adoptive cell transfer, a treatment using a patient’s own immune cells to attack cancer. Led by @PughLab & @MarcusButler_PM @UHN @pmcancercentre. doi.org/10.1186/s13073…

🌟New Resource article Read about the pancancer landscape of cancer-specific cell-free DNA methylation and fragmentomic features from plasma samples from 1,294 patients ✒️Yong Zeng, @MatLupien, @PughLab, Housheng Hansen He & colleagues nature.com/articles/s4301…

I'm happy to share this free link to our new paper on the perils of trying to find microbes in human cancers, which appeared today in @NatureCancer. Co-authors include Nobel laureate @barjammar and ancient DNA expert Eske Willerslev: rdcu.be/e4IaU

Trevor Pugh (@PughLab), Brian Crompton (@bdcrompton), Paul Northcott, and Kara Maxwell (@KMaxwellLab) are developing an accurate, accessible blood test for patients with very high inherited cancer risk due to conditions such as Li-Fraumeni Syndrome. 🧬
