Ever wonder how heterogeneity defines bladder cancer subtypes? Ha and Hsieh Lab postdoctoral fellows @pushpa_itagi and Samantha Schuster @fredhutch did, leading to a deep study of bladder cancer clonality, evolution, and heterogeneity published @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Thrilled to see our work over years in #bladdercancer published in @Nature THANKS to patients/families consenting to our research autopsy program wanting to support others! Kudos to @HsiehLab @GavinHa #OmarMian #MingLam et al. @fredhutch @HutchPresident nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Published today in @Nature: A new Fred Hutch study using a first-in-kind rapid autopsy program shows details of metastatic bladder cancer subtypes; could improve diagnosis and future treatment. bit.ly/4xrNFra @pushpa_itagi @HsiehLab @GavinHa @DrOmarMian

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. bit.ly/3TUvFUr

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! cell.com/cancer-cell/fulltex…

Have you ever wondered if 3’UTR point mutations found in cancer patients matter? We’re excited to share our new publication out today @CellReports, where we’ve defined how prostate tumor 3’UTR mutations affect molecular & cellular oncogenicity. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… 1/n
