To uncover the role of genomic heterogeneity in therapeutic efficacy, scientists combine whole genome sequencing of patient samples with machine learning and animal models. In this webinar, Kuan-lin Huang and Benjamin Ostendorf will discuss recent research insights into the contributions of genomic heterogeneity to immunotherapy responses and outcomes. Topics to be covered - Predicting tumor immune response using genomic markers and machine-learning - Determining melanoma progression and therapeutic response with common APOE germline variants **Speaker Information:** **![circle 1](https://promo.drugdiscoverynews.com/hs-fs/hubfs/TS%20Webinars/Thermo%20December%208th,%202021/December%208th%20webinar/circle%201.png?width=150&name=circle%201.png)** Kuan-lin Huang, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences Mount Sinai Center for Transformative Disease Modeling Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai ![circle 2](https://promo.drugdiscoverynews.com/hs-fs/hubfs/TS%20Webinars/Thermo%20December%208th,%202021/December%208th%20webinar/circle%202.png?width=150&name=circle%202.png) Benjamin Ostendorf, MD, PhD Max Eder Group Leader Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin ### **Webinar **Sponsors   [![cell signaling transparent logo](https://promo.drugdiscoverynews.com/hs-fs/hubfs/TS%20Webinars/Thermo%20December%208th,%202021/December%208th%20webinar/cell%20signaling%20transparent%20logo.png?width=266&name=cell%20signaling%20transparent%20logo.png)](https://www.cellsignal.com/)   [![Thermo Fisher Logo](https://promo.drugdiscoverynews.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LabManager/Webinars/Logos/Thermo%20Fisher%20Logo.png?width=159&name=Thermo%20Fisher%20Logo.png)](https://www.thermofisher.com/ca/en/home.html)   [![SINO](https://promo.drugdiscoverynews.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SINO.png?width=186&name=SINO.png)](https://www.sinobiological.com/)   [![Bio-rad\_nobackground2](https://promo.drugdiscoverynews.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Technology%20Networks/TN%20Webinars/AC%20Webinars/2021/April%2029/Bio-rad_nobackground2.png?width=172&name=Bio-rad_nobackground2.png)](https://www.bio-rad.com/)   [![Share on Facebook](https://promo.drugdiscoverynews.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/TN/Landing%20Page%20Template%20Images/Other/FB.png?width=24&name=FB.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpromo.drugdiscoverynews.com%2Fddn-webinar-genomic-heterogeneity-and-immunotherapy-efficacy%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://promo.drugdiscoverynews.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/TN/Landing%20Page%20Template%20Images/Other/linkedIn.png?width=24&name=linkedIn.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpromo.drugdiscoverynews.com%2Fddn-webinar-genomic-heterogeneity-and-immunotherapy-efficacy%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://promo.drugdiscoverynews.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/TN/Landing%20Page%20Template%20Images/Other/Twitter.png?width=24&name=Twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fpromo.drugdiscoverynews.com%2Fddn-webinar-genomic-heterogeneity-and-immunotherapy-efficacy%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpromo.drugdiscoverynews.com%2Fddn-webinar-genomic-heterogeneity-and-immunotherapy-efficacy%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Genetic%20Differences%20Affecting%20Immunotherapy%20Response) [![Share on Email](https://promo.drugdiscoverynews.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/TN/Landing%20Page%20Template%20Images/Other/email.png?width=24&name=email.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fpromo.drugdiscoverynews.com%2Fddn-webinar-genomic-heterogeneity-and-immunotherapy-efficacy%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fpromo.drugdiscoverynews.com%2Fddn-webinar-genomic-heterogeneity-and-immunotherapy-efficacy%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ![DDN white logo2 - Copy](https://promo.drugdiscoverynews.com/hubfs/DDN%20white%20logo2%20-%20Copy.png "DDN white logo2 - Copy")   Drug Discovery News 1000 N West Street | Wilmington | Delaware | 19801 | US [Email: privacy@drugdiscoverynews.com](mailto:privacy@drugdiscoverynews.com) © 2025 Drug Discovery News.
