Notes from Meeting 1/8/20

[gwaybio]

Documenting notes here that I previously transcribed

• Cloning procedure was clarified in Cloning Details #45
• Next steps computationally
  • Look at features that differentiate resistant and wild-type
    • Are these features consistent in different batches?
  • Figure out the best way to merge datasets together
• Next steps molecularly
  • Collect cell painting data in a new cell line (this will require additional troubleshooting to onboard new cell line)
    • ~2 to 4 months for new cell line
      • Broad may help with acquisition?
  • Collect resistance mechanisms from new drug
    • ~2 months for another drug
• Potential high-level outcomes:
  • We find a clear resistance signature that helps form hypothesis
  • The resistance signature is a mystery and we'll need to figure out next steps

Next time we meet we should discuss that it's probably trivial to tell the difference between sensitive vs resistant cells when they've been treated with a cancer drug (death is easy to detect). The interesting thing will be to tell the difference before they've been treated, or within a few minutes/hours of being treated. Are we collecting data for testing these?

[gwaybio]

We discussed on the call last week (more notes in #47 ) that the treatments are only 4 hours post treatment. We also discussed that we could experiment with timing and see if we can collect much sooner. This is an exciting variable to track and test!
