The Zhao Lab AI x Genomics

AI X Tumor Evolution

Cancer evolves. Tumors change over time, adapt to treatment, and find new ways to survive.

Highlights

Our Research

Our Research

We study the genomic and evolutionary mechanisms that drive cancer progression, with a focus on structural variation, 3D genome organization, and tumor evolution. By integrating multi-omics data and computational modeling, our lab aims to uncover actionable vulnerabilities for precision cancer therapy.

Our Projects

Our Projects

Non-coding DNA and epigenomic regulation We study how non-coding regulatory DNA elements shape epigenomic programs and influence tumor evolution.

Genomic archetypes of ovarian cancer We aim to define recurrent genomic architectures and evolutionary patterns in ovarian cancer.

Tumor evolution from pathology images We use machine learning on histopathology images to predict tumor evolutionary trajectories.

Our Team

Our Team

Our lab is an open and collaborative space bringing together researchers from experimental and computational backgrounds. As a new and growing lab, we emphasize curiosity, mutual learning, and teamwork, and we warmly welcome members who are excited to explore cancer evolution together.
