This he terogeneity drives cancer progression but remains difficult to quantify an d interpret\, limiting our understanding of its role in oncogenesis. At th e intersection of bioinformatics\, biostatistics\, and oncology\, our work develops computational approaches to analyze high-dimensional\, multimoda l molecular data. In this talk\, I will present two examples of our method ological advances.\n First\, a novel statistical framework based on mixture models to infer cellular heterogeneity from DNA methylation rates.\n Secon d\, a high-dimensional mediation analysis showing how DNA methylation and immune infiltration mediate the effect of tobacco exposure on pancreatic a denocarcinoma outcomes.\n Beyond these contributions\, I will also discuss our efforts to promote collaborative benchmarking and evaluation of comput ational algorithms through data challenge frameworks\, with the goal of bu ilding robust and reproducible tools for the cancer research community.\n \n📍 PLACE / LIEU\n Hybride - CRM\, Salle / Room 5340\, Pavillon André Aisen stadt\n\n \n\nLien ZOOM Link\n DTSTART:20251027T193000Z DTEND:20251031T203000Z SUMMARY:Magali Richard (CNRS\, University Grenoble-Alpes) URL:/smerg/channels/event/magali-richard-cnrs-universi ty-grenoble-alpes-368587 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
