Project summary
Christopher will start his Fellowship in the laboratory of Dr Claus Jorgensen at the Institute of Cancer Research in London, where he will be using cell-specific phosphoproteomics to investigate dynamic cell-cell communication between multiple cell types in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In collaboration with Professor Doug Lauffenburger at MIT, the dual-cell phosphoproteomic data will be used to develop a computational understanding of cell-cell signalling across sequential genetic stages of PDAC development.
