Description
The acquisition of resistance to therapies by cancer cells, sadly, is often inevitable. To effectively treat cancer, we need to understand how individual tumour cells are capable of escaping treatments through a process known as cellular plasticity. This adaptive process is driven by distinct cellular pathways and chromatin states that are yet to be clearly identified. This project will aim to elucidate how the chromatin landscape contributes to the plasticity and stability of individual tumour cells.
