 ch\n\n\n \n\n\nDr Behjati is a Group Leader and Wellcome Trust Intermedia
 te Clinical Fellow working across cellular genetics and cancer. He is also
  Honorary Consultant Paediatric Oncologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital\, b
 oth in Cambridge\, UK. His research sits at the interface of cancer genomi
 cs and single cell transcriptomics. Dr Behjati’s team uses cutting edge 
 single cell techniques to understand normal human development and how norm
 al development relates to disease.  The focus is on understanding and qua
 ntifying the nature and origins of cancer cells\, particularly childhood c
 ancers. To do this\, the research combines the study of somatic genomic ch
 anges\, bulk and single cell transcriptomics\, and mathematical modelling 
 of data.\n\nOriginally from Germany\, Sam read medicine at Oxford\, foll
 owed by academic clinical training in London and Cambridge. He joined Co
 rpus as a Research Fellow in 2016 and provides supervisions in cancer biol
 ogy. Dr Behjati undertook his doctoral studies in classical cancer genomic
