The next DCEG Bioinformatics Virtual Core Exchange/Journal Club meeting (https://nci-dceg.github.io/bioinformatics_journal_club/meetings/24-03-13) is scheduled for 11:30-12:30pm, March 13, 2024. The hybrid meeting will take place at Rm 6E032/34 and via Teams (meeting details below).  Please take note of this one-time alteration for the meeting time.

 

Dr. Wei Zhao from ITEB will be presenting her latest research. We look forward to seeing you there!

 

Title:  Transcriptomic profiling of lung adenocarcinoma from never-smokers reveals molecular subtypes with clinical implications

 

I will present my research, which is also the largest study worldwide, on the transcriptome of lung cancer in never smokers. We identified three transcriptome-based subtypes and verified the association of these subtypes with genomic changes and histological features. These subtypes have profound effects on clinical outcomes. We then developed a 60-gene predictor that recapitulates the expression subtype classification and their prognostic properties, which could be used in clinical settings. All results were validated in an external data set.
