As a PhD student, you will focus on these well-annotated patient cohorts to investigate disease genetics over time and their correlation with clinical outcomes. Using both bulk and single-cell approaches (primarily whole-genome sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing) you will explore the natural history of CLL and dissect how different treatments shape disease evolution and clinical course. Through this work, you will contribute to a deeper understanding of CLL biology, support the development of improved disease management strategies, and ultimately help to make a positive impact on the lives of patients with cancer.
