SCLC Archetypes

Published in Cell Systems, 2022

This paper describes the transcriptomics-defined archetypes found in small cell lung cancer, their enriched/selected phenotypes, and the relationship between the phenotypic heterogeneity and plasticity.

An unbiased metric of antiproliferative drug effect in vitro

Published in Nature Methods, 2016

We propose the drug-induced proliferation (DIP) rate, the slope of the line on a plot of cell population doublings versus time, as an alternative, time-independent metric
