• Somatic Inactivation of Breast Cancer Predisposition Genes in Tumours Associated with Pathogenic Germline Variants

  Breast cancers (BC) from susceptibility gene carriers, including BRCA1/2, PALB2 and RAD51C, have been shown to have bi-allelic loss in the respective genes and be associated with triple-negative (TN) BC and distinctive somatic mutational signatures. Tumour sequencing thus presents an orthogonal approach to assess the role of candidate genes in BC development.

• in silico drug target prediction for melanoma

  The in silico single gene deletion step was adapted to simulate the knock-out of all targets of a drug on an objective function such as growth or energy balance. Based on publicly available and in-house large scale transcriptomic data, metabolic models for melanoma were reconstructed, enabling the prediction of 28 candidate drugs and estimating their respective efficacy.

• Genetic variants of the COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 genes contribute to thinned glomerular basement membrane lesions in sporadic IgA nephropathy patients

  Contribution of pathogenic COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 variants to sporadic IgAN is still unclear. Whole exome sequencing was performed in sporadic IgAN patients with thinned glomerular basement membrane lesions and variations in COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 genes were screened and evaluated. 37 different diagnostic variants in COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 gene in 38 patients (31.1%) were identified.

• Whole genome analysis of pediatric patients with medulloblastoma

  Cancer genomes often contain structural variations (SVs) in non-coding regions, while its impact on tumorigenesis is still unclear. Our goal is to discover genome folding changes resulted from SVs using InfoGenomeR and InfoHiC frameworks, which may reveal novel therapeutic targets. We applied our frameworks to five pediatric patients with medulloblastoma, revealing 3D genome changes of medulloblastoma driver genes.

• The molecular landscape of homologous recombination deficient, end-stage, high grade serous ovarian cancer

  High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is frequently characterized by homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair deficiency, and while most such tumors are sensitive to initial treatment, acquired resistance is common. We undertook a multi-omics approach to interrogating mechanisms of resistance, using multiple autopsy samples collected from 15 women with HR-deficient HGSC.

• RNA-sequencing of ex vivo exhausted human antigen-specific T cells

  Tumor-specific T cells are frequently exhausted by chronic antigenic stimulation. To explore new pathways for reinvigoration of anti-tumor immune functions, we developed a human ex vivo exhaustion model by repetitive antigenic stimulation of primary CD8 T cells. This results in T cells that resemble patient-derived T cells in tumors on a phenotypic and transcriptional level.

• Neoadjuvant Chemo or Combined Chemo-Radiation Therapy of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Yields Fundamentally Different Proteome Biology of the Residual Tumor Mass

  We performed data independent acquisition (DIA)-based proteomics to characterize the proteomes of 67 PDAC resection specimens. Patients received either neoadjuvant chemotherapy or neoadjuvant combined chemo-radiation therapy. We employed DIA, yielding a proteome coverage in excess of 3,500 proteins. The two neoadjuvant therapies yielded highly distinguishable proteome profiles of the residual tumor mass.

• Single cell RNA sequencing of bone marrow mononuclear cells

  Bone marrow aspirates were obtained from patients with relapsed/refractory large B cell lymphoma (rrLBCL), mononuclear cells isolated by ficoll density-gradient centrifugation, and loaded onto a 10X Chromium for single cell RNA-sequencing using 5’ chemistry without prior cryopreservation. Healthy donor bone marrow mononuclear cells were obtained from healthy allogeneic stem cell transplant donors and analyzed following viable cryopreservation.

• ALLoreactive T-Cell receptOr RePertoire in kidnEy tranSplantation

  A prospective study for investigating the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in T-cell mediated rejection (TCMR) after kidney transplantation. The pre-formed donor-reactive TCR repertoire was tracked in blood and tissue of patients after kidney transplantation and characteristics of TCR repertoires from patients experiencing a rejection were compared to patients with no histopathological signs of rejection.

• Genomic and epigenomic study of Japanese renal cell carcinoma including WGS, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and methyl-seq

  We performed whole-genomic and transcriptomic sequencing of more than 100 Japanese renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cases, including clear cell RCC, papillary RCC, chromophobe RCC, and TFE3-translocated RCC. In addition, we conducted epigenome sequencing analyses: the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) and enzymatic methyl sequencing.
