Kevin Cheng PhD defence

Congratulations to Dr. Kevin Cheng on successfully defending his PhD thesis, “Regional bias of mutational processes in cancer genomes”, in the Department of Medical Biophysics at the University of Toronto. Kevin’s thesis examines how mutational processes are shaped by the regional genomic and epigenomic landscape of cancer genomes, and by cancer therapies.

Many thanks to external examiner Dr. Anna Panchenko (Queen’s University) and committee members Drs. Benjamin Lok, Trevor Pugh, Mathieu Lupien and Sagi Abelson. We wish Kevin all the best in his next chapter!
