Karol Nowicki-Osuch (IICD Associate Research Scientist), together with collaborators at the Irving Medical School (Adam Bass, Sandra Ryeom) and the New York Genome Center (Silas Maniatis), has received a multi-PI R01 grant. The project aims to combine novel single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, scDNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics approaches with innovative model organisms to study the early stages of gastric cancer development. The combination of expertise provided by each collaborator will shed light on the initiation of diffused gastric cancer, currently a highly understudied cancer type in the US.
