We look forward to continuing thee #NYCGRN First Tuesdays seminar series in 2023. Which cancer center should host next time? #GCCG #cancergenomics

Finally, @notsojunkDNA gave the #NYCGRN a look at preliminary results from a portion of the Polyethnic1000 samples. #cancergenomics

Next up at the #NYCGRN meeting was Dan Landau, who shared his lab’s approach to machine learning guided signal enrichment of ctDNA. #cancergenomics

Our first speaker of the #NYCGRN meeting, Marcin Imieliński, presented his team's work on 'Long Molecule Footprints of Backup Repair Pathways in Homologous Recombination Deficient Cancers” #cancergenomics

Last week, researchers from cancer centers throughout New York City gathered for the first in-person New York Cancer Genomics Research Network Meeting #NYCGRN in 2 years! Hosted at NY Genome Center by the Genome Center Cancer Group #GCCG .
