Deconvoluting the Heterogeneous Signatures of B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Offered By: Cancer Genomics Consortium via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the complex world of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in this informative webinar presented by Dr. Zhaohui Gu for the Cancer Genomics Consortium. Delve into the challenges of accurately classifying B-ALL subtypes, which consist of over 20 distinct categories defined by unique genetic alterations and gene expression profiles. Learn about ongoing research analyzing the largest B-ALL cohort worldwide, aimed at identifying multi-omics signatures for each subtype and developing a robust classification system using bulk and single-cell RNA-seq. Discover how this groundbreaking work seeks to translate genomics research advancements into precision clinical diagnosis, ultimately improving treatment strategies and patient outcomes. Gain insights from Dr. Gu's extensive background in bioinformatics, cancer biology, and leukemia research, including his contributions to refining ALL classification and advancing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in the field.
