🗣️ Dr. @nlbigas.bsky.social: “Healthy tissues accumulate many mutations throughout life, but what matters is not only how many there are, but which ones manage to outgrow the others and expand into clones, which are copies of the same cell carrying the same mutations.”

What is molecular profiling, and how is it reshaping cancer treatment? 🧬

Our latest video explains how analysing the genetic makeup of tumours helps predict treatment response and personalise care for better patient outcomes.

Today our colleague Bet Figuerola @efigbo.bsky.social , presented her work on the genomics analysis of a singular cancer patient at the Node Seminar session of #IRBBarcelona.
Genomics helps us to understand the origins and evolution of cancer contributing to knowledge with possible clinical impact.
