Very grateful to #Springboard25 for this support to push forward our development of methods for spatial profiling of somatic evolution. These ring fenced opportunities for early PIs are hugely helpful to push forward our research at this stage of the lab's development.

We just published a review of lessons farmers have learned for how to control pesticide resistance from evolving, and how to apply those to oncology to prevent cancers from evolving therapeutic resistance: bit.ly/48OfFdX

Resistance Management for Cancer: Lessons from Farmers

Abstract. One of the main reasons we have not been able to cure cancers is that treatments select for drug-resistant cells. Pest managers face similar challenges with pesticides selecting for pesticid...
