Abstract: Modern machine learning methods are revolutionizing what we can do with data, from tiktok video recommendations to biomarkers discovery in cancer research. Yet, the complexity of these deep models makes it harder to understand what functions these data-dependent models are computing, and which features they detect regarding as important for a given task. In this talk, […]

The Silverbush lab decodes tumor heterogeneity and plasticity to understand how cancer cells transform to become more aggressive or evade treatment. We particularly examine hard-to-treat cancers with high heterogeneity, focusing on the notorious kings of heterogeneity and aggressiveness: brain cancers. To achieve this […]
