Overview

Dr Guiping Wang will be joining the CRUK Cambridge Institute as a Group Leader later this year. Her laboratory focuses on the spatial genomics of cancer, with a particular interest in how extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) drives oncogene amplification and therapy resistance. By developing and applying advanced imaging and epigenomic sequencing technologies, the Wang Group aims to map gene regulation at multiple scales, from single molecules to genome-wide circuits, to uncover new targetable vulnerabilities in aggressive cancers. The Institute's strengths are in genomics, computational biology, and imaging, with a focus on breast, pancreas, brain and colon cancers. We are committed to providing an inclusive and supportive working environment that foste...
