Research Interests

The mission of the Blundell lab is to develop a quantitative understanding of somatic evolution in tissues to detect cancer at its earliest stages. Our work aims to understand how mutant clones arise, expand and compete in our tissues as we age. Focusing predominantly on blood, we use novel genetic lineage tracking tools and deep sequencing of longitudinal samples to identify mutant clones which are under strong positive selection. Such clones are implicated in early cancer and thus are candidates for improved cancer detection. More details on research projects can be found at blundelllab.com
