Vårt projekt om hur vi med nya metoder letar cancergener och där förståelsen kan leda till en mer skräddarsydd behandling var ett av de 224 som fick anslag från @Cancerfonden! Tack alla som skänker gåvor till forskningen och gör detta möjligt! #tillsammansmotcancer #cancerfonden

In our new study, we identify novel candidate cancer driver genes in medulloblastoma by using evolutionary constraint. The results imply different molecular pathways in different patient groups opening for specified diagnostics and personalized treatment. https://t.co/VrIhrgndwV

"In humans worldwide, the Zoonomia studies [genomes from 240 placental mammals] demonstrate how explicitly thinking about humans as a mammal among mammals can substantially enrich our understanding of the emergence of evolutionary novelty and human uniqueness."

Our research is getting noticed! This paper comparing the genomics of canine hemangiosarcoma and human angiosarcoma is one of Molecular Cancer Research's most cited of 2019. Another success to put on the "post-pandemic celebrate list"!
