We are excited to share that the eDyNAmiC team has been chosen as a @CancerGrand, @theNCI & @CR_UK winner! #CancerGrandChallenges

Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) are small rings of DNA that help tumours evolve and evade treatment. The eDyNAmiC team will look at ways to interfere with ecDNA, slow down tumour development & ultimately bring hope to patients whose cancers have become resistant to treatment. 4/6

Our paper is out in @Nature! Extrachromosomal DNA molecules huddle together in cancer cells to activate oncogene expression (which we call ecDNA hubs). A great collaboration with @KatieEYost, @HowardYChang, @549nm, Zhe Liu, and others. (1/10) nature.com/articles/s4158…




We are delighted to welcome extrachromosomal DNA pioneer Paul Mischel @mischellab to ChEM-H! Mischel spoke to us about looking where the light isn’t being shone and how genetic SpaghettiOs give cancers an advantage: stanford.io/3ii7BJj @StanfordPath @StanfordMed





Uveal #Melanoma can metastasize. But why do these highly lethal metastases occur in some patients but not others? In our new paper @NatureComms we describe a novel and unanticipated mechanism. #epigenetics @YaleMed @LaughneyLab @Samuel_Bakhoum @mischellab nature.com/articles/s4146…

Delighted to announce that I joined @YaleMed as Assistant Professor in @YaleOph. My laboratory will focus on two research areas with direct clinical applications. #AcademicTwitter #ophthotwitter #Ophthalmology #retina bakhoumlab.org 1/4
