How do cells lining our epithelium evolve over a lifetime? 🧬 We built PHYFUM, a new Bayesian phylogenetic method to reconstruct the evolutionary history of normal tissue using Fluctuating Methylation. Here's what we found 👇 #CancerEvolution

Not all tumors evolve the same way.
Our paper proposes a new framework to classify tumors based on how they evolve and the ecosystems they are embedded in. Say hello to the Evo-Eco Index!

Evolutionary therapy (ET) needs accurate tumour burden tracking.

This is pretty cool! Turns out genome doubling occurs in one third of metastatic cancers!

Seems that during metastasis cancer cells tend to evolve by maximizing CNAs, while not generating too many mutations that could potentially stimulate an immune response.

Thrilled to share our discovery of novel long-deletion signatures—key markers for tracking #MMRd #CancerEvolution, even in low-pass (~0.1X) FFPE samples with low purity. This was made possible with our tool, MILO, as named by @trevorgraham.bsky.social. Our preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Long deletion signatures in repetitive genomic regions track somatic evolution and enable sensitive detection of microsatellite instability
Deficiency in the mismatch repair system (MMRd) causes microsatellite instability (MSI) in cancers and determines eligibility for immunotherapy. Here, we show that MMRd tumours harbour long-deletion s...

What if tumors evolve like ecosystems?
We applied life history theory to cancer to explain why tumor cells show such diverse behaviors—from rapid growth to quiet dormancy.

13/n This was a dream postdoc project — the kind that kept me up late, but lit me up inside.
I grew immensely as a scientist, piecing together fragments of cancer evolution and immune microenvironment. Proud to share what we uncovered

Why do we get cancer?
It’s not just bad luck—it’s evolution.
This special issue explores how evolutionary biology is reshaping our understanding of cancer: why it exists, how it grows, and what we can do about it.
