Fascinating new insights into how cancer cells use and switch between different mechanisms of focal gene amplification (extra-chromosomal vs intra-chromosomal) to evolve resistance to drug treatment. Beautiful work by @graeber_thomas and team! cancerdiscovery.aacrjournals…

Herculean effort from @KamPoels+colleagues to initiate a clinical trial based on a validated model of combination therapy in lung cancer. Happy to have contributed in the initial stages of model development and to see this finally out in @NatureComms. go.nature.com/3wMTj8x
