This award funds a project at the University of California, San Diego to study extrachromosomal DNA in cancer, aiming to understand its role in cancer progression and develop new therapeutic strategies.
Description
eDyNAmiC (extrachromosomal DNA in Cancer) investigates how ecDNA contributes to cancer progression, treatment resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. The project aims to develop novel insights and therapeutic strategies by integrating cancer genomics, yeast genetics, epigenomics, artificial genome synthesis, machine learning, mathematical modeling, immunobiology, and chemistry.
