The Lurie Cancer Center Basic Research Seminar Series presents:

Tracing Rare Cell Plasticity and Therapy Resistance in Single Cells

Individual cells within genetically homogenous populations can respond differently to inductive signals or cues and adopt distinct fates. The Goyal lab combines novel experimental and computational frameworks to monitor, perturb, model, and ultimately control single-cell variabilities and fate choices in cancer cells. This talk will present ongoing efforts to capture single cell variabilities in various cancers at multiple scales with novel and generalizable lineage tracing strategies to understand cancer progression and response to anti-cancer therapies.

All members of the Northwestern Medicine community are invited to attend.
