Cool presentation from Donate Weghorn discussing, Inference of the mutational processes and the mode of growth governing tumor evolution. She shows that spatial clonal dynamics in liver cancer are most likely volumetrically driven using an off-lattice ABM simulation EvoMG Program

Next up is Jamie Blundell presenting, The dynamics of genetic and epigenetic alterations in the decades preceding blood cancer diagnosis. Jamie shows a simple stem cell based model with stochasticity captures the clonal dynamics remarkably well! EvoMG Program

And closing for today, the contributed talk of “Evolutionary cancer genomics” by Konstantinos Karakostis from HMar Research Institute on the evolution of the p53/MDM2 interface leads to gain of functions in development and tumour suppression.

Last day! The most enjoyable meeting this year! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Masterful introduction to a great talk on ageing by Peter Sudmant at the EvoMG Program!

First talk of the last session of the meeting, on “Evolution of aging”, by Peter Sudmant (Peter Sudmant) from UC Berkeley on global diversity, recurrent evolution, and recent selection on amylase structural haplotypes in humans (and many other cool stories 😉).

Next talk on the “Evolution of aging” session by Emma Teeling (Emma Teeling) from University College Dublin answering how do bats limit expected ageing and disease.

Una historia muy chula que acaban de poner en marcha desde el Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), @upfbiomed y @ibe_barcelona con Manuel Irimia a los mandos @evomg_bcn elpais.com/salud-y-bienes…

🌍 Desde el #CRG presentamos EvoMG Program: el 1er programa global en genómica médica evolutiva. Junto a UPF Medicine and Life Sciences e Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE), con €1M de Recerca i Universitats y liderado por Manuel Irimia, aplicaremos la evolución para entender enfermedades y mejorar la salud humana. 🧬

If you are attending EvoMG Program or are at the Biomedicina BCN or in Barcelona I’ll be giving the closing keynote at 11:30am on some of our on going Centre for Evolutionary Therapy clinical trials as well as showing how we use IMO to drive translation.

Contributed talk of the “Evolution of aging” session by Genevieve Housman (Genevieve Housman) from MPI-EVA Leipzig interrogating osteoarthritis-related regulatory dynamics in primates using skeletal cell culture systems.

And the final Keynote talk by Sandy Anderson (Sandy Anderson) from Moffitt Cancer Centre Moffitt Cancer Center talking about Evolutionary Therapy.

Barcelona Launches World’s First Evolutionary Medical Genomics Program Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), UPF Medicine and Life Sciences and Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE) researchers are teaming up to explore the evolutionary underpinnings of disease at the molecular level🧬🔬🤩 #UnravellingEvolution 👉ibe.upf-csic.es/news/-/asset_p…

📣 Two ERC-funded positions are available in the lab! If you’re interested in exploring the mechanisms underlying mutation, we’d love to hear from you. ibe.upf-csic.es/work-with-us/j… RTs and shares would be greatly appreciated!
