Dr Aparicio is also working to develop quantitative measures of clonal fitness in patients, including methods for single cell genome sequencing and patient derived xenograft models of human cancer.

His role in grand challenge is leader of the Canadian contribution to the GC, focus on single cell genomics as an approach to fitness and cellular dynamics, quantitative methods and visualization.
