The Cancer Evolution Lab at Case is up at mcfarlandlab.org! We're looking to hire two postdocs: jobrxiv.org/job/case-western…

Our recent @PRX_Life paper was selected as the very first journal cover and it looks great :)
Past thread explaining why we're are just so excited about this result below:
Incredibly excited that our paper examining the role of ecological interactions in preexisting drug resistance is out! We tackle the apparent paradox between the cost of resistance in the absence of treatment, and the ubiquity of preexistence. 1/20

Excited to share new paper led by postdoc @JeffMaltas (on the job market!) out today in @PRX_Life (1/4 🧵)
Frequency-Dependent Ecological Interactions Increase the Prevalence, and Shape the Distribution, of Preexisting Drug Resistance

Excited to showcase our poster at #AACR on Tuba-seq and the latest innovation in lung cancer discovery! Visit Section 26 to learn more. #AACR24 #AACR #cancerresearch #lungcancer @AACR @CancerEvoLab

Add in some good statistical approaches to fit non-monotone growth rates and you have a nice complete method. Comments welcome!!

Proud of @cwrumstp student Eshan King for publishing 1st thesis paper this week @PLOSCompBiol!
In it, we explore how #FitnessSeascapes encode multple #evolutionary trade-offs during changing drug dosing (either in space or time).

So happy to share a Case spotlight of Dr. Athar Khalil - the CanEvo group wouldn't exist without Athar thedaily.case.edu/postdoc-sp…

first time presenting this exciting new work from @colincess! he will have to do a #tweetorial when the paper comes out! #mathonco
Stacey now shows cool just accepted work in @PLOSCompBiol on modeling the tumor-immune ecosystem at the tissue scale. Love the idea of using a feed forward network to make macrophage state decisions facilitating a massive speed up in computational time!
Had a blast at #MathOnc23 - thank you @NikosDim3 for the gorgeous photo 🤩

Really happy to participate in #MathOnco23 ! What an exciting community!!
Next we have Nikolaos Dimitriou presenting, Investigating sedimentation in 3D cultures with an integrated experimental-computational framework #MathOnco23
We have our first graduate: Xiangzhen Wei successfully defended his Master Thesis! Xiangzhen has been working collaboratively to extend TuBa-seq to model heterozygous losses for pharmacogenomic modeling. Congrats!!!

Happy to share our pre-print describing how frequency dependent interactions b/n resistance & sensitive cells affect the prevalence & distribution of pre-existing drug resistant cells. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. @JeffMaltas @durmaz_aa @CancerEvoLab @hinczewskilab @CancerConnector
Very Excited to *finally* publish, with @SusanneTilk @PetrovADmitri, our article explaining why deleterious passengers accumulate in genomically-unstable tumors: elifesciences.org/articles/6…
Susanne, Christina Curtis and Dmitri recently characterized the proteotoxic response mechanisms to mutational load and experimentally-validated this model: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Christopher McFarland (@CancerEvoLab) is a cancer geneticist at Case Western Reserve University. We discuss tumour evolution, the accumulation of deleterious mutations in cancer, and the landscape of the cancer biology field.
