Akdemir Laboratory

The Akdemir lab focuses on integrative computational analyses to advance efforts for precision cancer medicine. We are analyzing multi-omics datasets from primary human tumors, such as long-read whole genome sequencing, genome-wide chromatin organization (Hi-C) and single-cell ATAC-sequencing from common (i.e. glioblastoma) or rare (i.e. chordoma) CNS tumor types to investigate how tumor evolution shapes the organization of chromatin in cancer cells and tumor microenvironment.
