Topic: Past, current and the future of early cancer detection technologies
Deadly cancers usually become curable when diagnosed at early stages. Dr. Li will share a new idea of Cancer Prevention. His lab proposed a completely new concept for next generation of cancer detection by finding the changes from the immune system. The lab combined artificial intelligence, statistics and genomics approaches and created a new method to detect the changes in the immune system, and observed significantly improved performance for early cancer detection. They believe that the future of early cancer screen lies in the intersection of traditional plus immunologic approaches to achieve the high clinical accuracy.
Speaker: Dr. Bo Li
Ph. D in Bioinformatics. After becoming independent in 2017, Dr. Li’s lab in the Lyda Hill Department of Bioinformatics, UT Southwestern, has been focusing on the investigation of how T cells interact with cancer during tumor progression and immunotherapies, such as checkpoint blockade or cancer vaccine. The lab deployed its novel computational algorithms and tools for the early detection of cancer and precision diagnosis of multiple immunologic disorders.
