Amazing work by @vallisubasri comprehensively investigating the ways in which germline genetic variants and epimutations effect cancer risk in patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, using whole genome sequencing and methylation data from 396 LFS patients.

Our study is out today in @NatureComms ! We analyzed cancer genomes from patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and found early copy number gain of the mutant allele of TP53 to be a characteristic feature of these tumours.

Congrats @cd_steele and @NischalanP ! Glad to have made a small contribution to this foundational work!.
We have expanded our previous method of copy number signatures developed in sarcomas to identify a reference set of pan-cancer copy number signatures. These are available on @cosmic_sanger.now! 1/2.

Congrats @andygxzeng! Amazing study characterizing and stratifying the stem cell hierarchy in >1000 AML patients into 4 major classes, with distinct biology, clinical outcomes and drug sensitivity @uoftmdphd.
Super excited to share that our study on cellular hierarchies in acute myeloid leukemia has been released today in @NatureMedicine! . A short tweetorial below: /1.

Incredibly thankful for the opportunity to train in Internal Medicine at UofT! Grateful for my 8 years @uoftmdphd and over the moon to be continuing my training here. I cannot thank enough all the amazing people who have supported me through this process. Excited to get to work!

My Dad and his friend just released their new book on life in Paris in the 70s, and its already got great reviews! "Both authors skillfully build on each other’s recollections to bring a vanished world to vibrant life" @KirkusReviews . All royalties go to the @RedCrossUkraine🇺🇦

Congrats @nathanielDA_PhD ! A massive advance in our understanding of leiomyosarcoma, pointing to a new therapeutic option for these patients.
Our paper (from my PhD at @SickKidsNews) describing the mutational processes of primary and metastatic #leiomyosarcoma is out now in @NatureComms. Check it out here 👉🏽:
