DESCRIPTION:Cancer formation and progression are driven by evolutionary pr
 essures. Therefore\, understanding a cancer’s evolutionary history may h
 elp determine its evolutionary trajectory and help personalise a patient
 ’s risk of progression. In this seminar\, I shall discuss two projects f
 ocused on developing novel methods to quantitatively measure a cancer’s 
 evolutionary history in the context of lymphoid cancers and Barrett’s oe
 sophagus.\n\n\nSpeaker Biography:\nDr Gabbutt is a Chapman-Schmidt Fellow 
 at Imperial College London\, where he works on developing mathematical mod
 els to describe how cancers evolve and computational methods to fit these 
 models to patient data. Dr Gabbutt completed a Physics degree at the Unive
 rsity of Oxford and earned his PhD at Barts Cancer Institute\, where he de
 veloped methods to quantify clonal evolution in healthy human tissues. As 
 a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Cancer Research\, he extende
 d the lineage tracing methods developed during his PhD to the study of can
 cer.
