Abstract: This presentation will cover a few ongoing research projects in my lab, including (1) a new approach for Single cell based precision oncology, (2) research aimed at a better understanding of the evolution of a frequent chromosomal co-aneuploidy event in brain tumors,  (3) uncovering determinants of sex bias in cancer risk and autoimmune disorders and finally, (4) the prediction and testing of new anti COVID-19 drug targets. As time permits, I will provide a brief overview of new tools we recently developed, for deconvolving tumor expression (CODEFACS, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.20.427515v2), for detecting cell type-specific bacteria (CSI-MIcrobes, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.14.096230v2) and for optimizing receptor mediated treatment combinations (MadHitter, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.28.923532v3).
