Exploring Potential Roles for Viral Nucleic Acids in the Pathogenesis of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Charles Gawad - Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Hematology & Oncology)
Bio-X Affiliated Faculty
Dr. Charles Gawad's lab works at the interface of biotechnology, computational biology, cellular biology, and clinical medicine to develop and apply new tools for characterizing genetic variation across single cells within a tissue with unparalleled sensitivity and accuracy. They are focused on applying these technologies to study cancer clonal evolution while patients are undergoing treatment with the aim of identifying cancer clonotypes that are associated with resistance to specific drugs so as to better understand and predict treatment response.
