The Joe Chan Lab

Research

Joe Chan, MD, PhD

The Joe Chan Lab combines machine learning with disruptive single-cell sequencing and multiplex spatial imaging to study lineage plasticity in cancer, with a particular focus on histological transformation, as a mechanism of acquired resistance, immune escape, and metastasis. The lab has a special interest in quantifying plasticity across space, time, and cancer types.
