A great example from Dr. Melissa Kemp of data-driven multi-omic patient-specific models, used in this case to identify differences in NAPDH metabolism for radiation-resistant patients for head and neck cancers and also pancancer (TCGA) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…
For our second invited talk in our signaling session, we have one Dr. Mike Lee talking about cell death and the Pol II degradation-dependent apoptotic response (PDAR) #SACB2025@TheLeeLab
To kick off our last session "Target Signaling Transduction" we have Dr. Rachel Gottschalk on mathematical modeling of signaling networks in macrophages #SACB2025
Dr. Christian Meyer @meyerct6 on drug combinations, synergy metrics that measure efficacy, and how this can be leveraged for translational work #SACB2025
An impressive result from their work - their model would have been able to predict from single treatment trials what would have happened in the combination trials
To start our postdoc highlight session, we have Dr. John Metzcar @jmetzcar telling us about his work on mechanistic modeling of glioblastoma and its microenvironment #SACB2025
Dr. Sriram Chandrasekaran @sriram_lab kicking off the Metabolism at Scale session with a talk on heterogeneity in cancer metabolism in EMT and beyond #SACB2025
Our next invited speaker at #sacb2025 is Dr. Soledad Sosa discusses cancer cell dissemination and its contribution to tumor in breast cancer and beyond
Dr. Pamela Becker, after showing how systems biology can be used for individualized risk assessment with mmSYGNAL (doi.org/10.1101/2024.04.01.2…). A reminder that the future is now for systems biology applied to cancer! #SACB2025
Dr. Pamela Becker showing us results from a clinical trial in which a functional assay to drug response results in better survival for patients with acute leukemia #SACB2025
From the genomics of multi-site PDAC tumors, they find co-ocurring mutations in the MAPK/ERK pathway (which have been associated to KRAS inhibitor resistance) in addition to the KRAS mutation, whose presence varied between sites
Keynote Christine Iacobuzio-Donahue believes that “systems approaches are the future of cancer research” and introduces her work in pancreatic cancer #SACB2025
Our keynote speaker, Christine Iacobuzio-Donahue, reminding us that even though we know much about the genomic landscape in primary PDAC tumors, there are many gaps in our understanding of its evolution and metastases #SACB2025
