Associate Professor and Computational Biologist studying cancer genomics & liquid biopsies @fredhutch
Seattle, WA
Joined April 2009
In a step toward a #liquidbiopsy for small cell #lungcancer, a Fred Hutch team led @DMacPhersonLab and @GavinHa have developed an approach that can distinguish several #SCLC subtypes from blood samples.

So excited to share our work on tumor genomes of African ancestry in common cancers. We report several actionable associations, including a novel ancestry-smoking interaction impacts TP53 rate. More discoveries to come if we improve diversity in genomics!

By leveraging two large genomic cohorts, Jiagge et al. characterize genomic alterations and clinically relevant biomarkers in patients with African ancestry across six common cancers. They identify...

Thanks for highlighting this work on tumor subtyping from ctDNA. Congrats also to @Navonilde RobertPatton AnnaLisaDoebley and many collaborators @fredhutch @DanaFarber @StoverLab
A suite of new computational tools developed by Drs. @GavinHa and Peter Nelson at Fred Hutch could help scientists use liquid biopsies to get more information about tumor gene regulation.

Thrilled to share my views as a new PI!
💫Recruiting, securing funding, building a network – early career investigators face many challenges! In “The 2022 generation” hear the inspiring stories of 12 PIs who started their teams in the past year. #newPI #2022InReview

Ever wonder wonder why prostate cancer cells become heterogeneous with treatment? @Alexrnagerm from @HsiehLab did for his @MCBSeattle PhD work and it is so great to see his paper accepted and out today in @eLIFE ( https://t.co/iELUHi4crs). Check out his tweetorial too!
I’m thrilled to report my first publication from @HsiehLab @Fredhutch which was accepted and published in @eLIFE today! Thanks to my fellow @HsiehLab members for support and encouragement over the years. See my first ever tweetorial below. https://t.co/dZVKNFe5eL (1/12)
