Whole-genome doubling (WGD) is a common yet poorly understood event associated with poor clinical outcomes. Here, we characterize mechanisms by which WGD drives tumor evolution, utilizing mouse mammary tumor models of WGD established through cell fusion...

ATR inhibition is under evaluation for treatment of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) to reverse acquired resistance to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition and to exacerbate chemotherapy-induced replicative stress. Here, we define PTEN...

Men with advanced prostate cancer are typically treated with androgen deprivation therapy, but most ultimately develop resistance and incurable disease (e.g. castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)). The majority of CRPCs overexpress the epigenetic...

Many cancer therapies induce high response rates, with some resulting in undetectable disease as assessed using standard clinical assays. This is particularly true in leukemia and lymphoma, in which patients often achieve deep remission yet ultimately...

Immune escape during the ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)-to-invasive breast cancer (IBC) transition shapes tumor evolution. Through transcriptomic mapping of the immune landscapes of normal breast, DCIS, and IBC from large patient cohorts, we identified T...
