Tumor Decon and its Application in Bioinformatics and Oncology

About this Class

TumorDecon is a computational tool at an early stage of contributing to the intersection of bioinformatics and oncology. The goal of TumorDecon is to estimate the percentages of various immune cells from gene expression profiles of the bulk of cells.

 The presentation will cover:

• basic overview of TumorDecon, touching upon how it processes transcriptomic data to offer a glimpse into the cellular composition of tumors.
• applications of TumorDecon, drawing from a few examples and datasets to illustrate its potential utility in mechanistic modeling of tumors’ growth and response to treatments.

The speaker hopes to engage with the audience to exchange ideas and discuss how tools like TumorDecon can be improved and might fit into the broader landscape of cancer research, particularly keen on receiving feedback and engaging in discussions about potential improvements and collaborations.
