Matt Thomson is an Assistant Professor in Computational Biology at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). His research group focuses on developing computational methods that construct predictive models of cell and tissue dynamics using single-cell datasets. A major application of these methods lies in modeling the immune environment of tumors, particularly in distinguishing between immunologically cold and active tumors. The goal is to design interventions that can convert cold tumors into 'hot' tumors, leading to significant immune cell infiltration and activation. His work has been published in several high-impact journals, contributing to a better understanding of the complexities of cancer immunology.
