2021 AACR: Longitudinal Exome-Scale Liquid Biopsy Monitoring of Evolving Therapeutic Resistance Mechanisms in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients Receiving Anti-PD-1 Therapy Typical liquid biopsy panels capture a relatively small number of variants, and likely under-represent the heterogeneity of resistance in late-stage cancers. To address the challenges associated with identifying multiple concurrent heterogeneous [...]
2021 AACR: Accurate modeling of antigen processing and MHC peptide presentation using large-scale immunopeptidomes and a novel machine learning framework Neoantigens, which are antigens specific to cancer cells, can be harnessed to develop personalized cancer vaccines and prognostic biomarkers for checkpoint blockade inhibition. Next generation sequencing technologies have enabled comprehensive profiling of putative neoantigens [...]
2021 AACR: Pan-cancer survey of HLA loss of heterozygosity using a robustly validated NGS based machine learning algorithm HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is increasingly being recognized as an important immune escape mechanism in response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy. HLA LOH reduces the repertoire of neoantigens displayed on the cell surface of cancer cells, [...]
2021 AACR: Pan-cancer shedding patterns of tumor circulating cell-free DNA Tumor circulating cell-free DNA (ctDNA) comprises DNA molecules cast from tumors that reach and circulate in a patient's bloodstream. Given its non-invasive nature, the liquid biopsy of ctDNA has remarkable potential for diagnosis, prognosis, disease progression tracking, and treatment monitoring. Nonetheless, little is known [...]
2021 AACR: Profiling tumor-infiltrating immune cells using an augmented transcriptome Due to the complexity of tumor-immune interactions, comprehensive profiling of both the tumor and tumor microenvironment (TME) can help further our understanding of tumor progression and response to treatment. One significant application is quantification of the immune infiltrate, which has the potential to characterize [...]

2020 SITC: Orthogonally and functionally validated algorithm for detecting HLA loss of heterozygosity T cells can inhibit tumor growth and progression by recognizing major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) -bound peptides derived from antigens that are mutated, inappropriately expressed, or overexpressed in the tumor cells (vs. healthy cells). There are many mechanisms by which [...]
