Excited to see my dissertation work published in Cancer Research @theaacr.bsky.social 🎉! A big thank you to my chair, Jen Doherty and committee including @casey.greenelab.com for their mentorship on this project! Check out the highlights of our study below if interested 🧬😀
New research finds ovarian cancer mutations are nearly identical across populations, with key differences that may impact treatment. This study highlights the importance of diversity in cancer genomics and could help refine treatment strategies for all patients. bit.ly/4bHpifC
