We study melanoma, breast, and lung cancer with a special emphasis on quantifying cancer heterogeneity with respect to drug response and to differentiation states.
We have developed methods to measure clonal and cell-to-cell variability by high-throughput automated microscopy and image processing. We then derive cancer cell population behavior by integrating single-cell and clonal data.
