The ECI seminar series aims to highlight early cancer related research across a range of disciplines, promote discussion and inspire new ideas and connections. Join fellow researchers for lunch and an opportunity to network.
On Tuesday 30th September we will be joined by Dan Landau, Associate Professor of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine and Core Member, New York Genome Center.
Dan will speak on: Mapping human somatic evolution – from basic discovery to clinical application (provisional talk title)
A buffet lunch will be served from 12.30pm in the area outside the CAB lecture theatre and the talk will begin at 1.00pm followed by a Q&A. Please note that no food or drink may be taken in the lecture theatre.
Speaker biography: Dan Landau, MD, PhD is Associate Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine and a Core Member of the New York Genome Center. He is an oncologist whose long-term goal is to develop novel approaches to address cancer evolution as a central obstacle to cure. Dr. Landau has made seminal contributions to our understanding of cancer biology, developing novel genomics approaches to integrate genetic and non-genetic determinants of cancer evolution. He has also pioneered innovative genomics technologies for the study of cancer evolution, including for liquid biopsy treatment monitoring. His research group is funded by the NCI, NHLBI and NHGRI, and his work has led to recognition and awards including Stand Up to Cancer, Burroughs Wellcome Fund, Vallee Scholar, Mark Foundation Emerging Leader Award and the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award.
