Single-cell Proliferation Rate Inference in Non-homogeneous Tumors through Evolutionary Routes (SPRINTER) allows users to infer proliferation rates of individual clones within a tumor from single-cell...

Computational single-cell investigation of extrachromosomal DNA and replication-timing alterations shaping metastatic cancer Primary supervisor: Simone Zaccaria, UCL Secondary supervisors: Benjamin Werner, Queen Mary University of London; Mariam Jamal-Hanjani, UCL Project High-level copy-number amplification of oncogenes is a common mechanism of cancer activation and a major source of intratumoural heterogeneity, poor outcomes, and treatment resistance .

DNA-sequencing data from primary tumours and paired metastases from participants in the TRACERx lung study and PEACE autopsy programme are used to analyse the metastatic diversity of advanced non-smal...

This study nominates immune escape as an early event in colorectal cancer and shows how this can be driven through both genetic and epigenetic changes.

CRUK City of London Centre Development Fund The CRUK City of London Centre brings together the discovery science of the Crick and the cross-disciplinary, translational and clinical expertise at UCL,...

Cancer evolutionary dynamics are quantitatively inferred using a method, EVOFLUx, applied to fluctuating DNA methylation.

UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

We are the Computational Cancer Genomics (CCG) Lab at the UCL Cancer Institute, a group of passionate scientists and clinicians who work on developing computational methods to unravel cancer's mysteri...

Tumor progression is an evolutionary process during which cells acquire distinct genetic alterations. Several cancer evolutionary studies reconstruct this evolutionary process by applying bulk DNA seq...

Benchmarking of tumor subclonal reconstruction algorithms finds that interalgorithm variability overwhelms intertumor variability and identifies key quality metrics.
