Symposium: ecDNA
Andreas Ventura showed that normal primary cells can propagate ecDNAs, and that ecDNAs can promote transformation and tumorigenesis in vivo, using elegant in vitro and in vivo models of ecDNA. Fantastic work! #EACR2025

Symposium: EC DNA
Fantastic talk by Paul Mischel highlighting the multitude of mechanisms by which ecDNAs drive tumour heterogeneity and resistance to therapy!
