Biography

Matthew Jones, PhD is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, USA, advised by Howard Chang, MD, PhD. His work centres on developing computational and technological approaches to better understand evolution in biological systems, especially applied to cancer. Previously, Matthew earned his PhD from University of California, San Francisco, advised by Dr. Jonathan Weissman and Dr. Nir Yosef, where he developed algorithms for reconstructing tumor lineages from CRISPR-based lineage tracers. His current research focuses on better elucidating the role of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in tumor progression and drug resistance. Matthew is currently supported by an NCI K99/R00 Early-Career Postdoctoral Fellowship.
