NAvin laboratory has pioneered the development of single cell sequencing technologies. They apply these tools to study complex biological processes that occur in human cancers including tumor initation, clonal evolution, invasion, metastasis and chemoresistance. These processes have previously been difficult to study with genomic technologies using bulk tissues
