Dr George Tseng, Professor in Biostatistics a UPitt, is a critical component of the Pittsburgh ILC Program of Excellence.  His studies for testing congruence of ILC models with ILC clinical samples are critical for ILC research. For example, CASCAM (Congruence Analysis and Selection of Cancer Models) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38198519/, helps to identify cell lines most representative for ILC research. He subsequently obtained an R01 grant (MPI with Dr. Adrian Lee) on “Single-cell congruence evaluation and selection of cancer models towards precision medicine”.
