More about the speaker:
Santiago Carmona is a group leader at the Department of Oncology of the University of Lausanne and the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. His group focuses on understanding how the immune system interacts with cancer. Single-cell omics data of cancer patients have the potential to reveal mechanisms of therapy resistance and novel therapeutic targets. However, as we gain resolution to discriminate cell type heterogeneity, our ability to interpret these data is becoming a bottleneck. Carmona’s group develops computational methods to translate single-cell omics data into biological insight, with a focus on cancer immunology.
