Patrick McDeed is awarded a Fred Hutch Mahan Fellowship. Patrick joined the Ha Lab in June 2025 as a postdoc. His project is titled “ctDNA-based modeling of genotypic & phenotypic dynamics during mCRPC therapy”. He aims to develop new computational methods and statistical frameworks for the analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) obtained from cancer patients as non-invasive “liquid biopsy” to identify genotypic and phenotypic features that can better monitor treatment response and predict therapeutic outcomes. The development of these ctDNA-based prediction and serial monitoring tools will provide insights to improve treatment strategies and management of prostate cancer patients receiving Lutetium-PSMA radioligand therapies.
