Course description

Implementation of cancer genomics into the clinic is becoming a  
reality. Personalised medicine or "Precision medicine" as some authors  
refer to it, uses molecular data from a specific patient to guide  
clinical decisions such as prevention, diagnosis and treatment. This  
will revolutionise healthcare and will play a dominant role in the  
future of cancer therapy. Bioinformatics analyses are essential to  
identify patients who will benefit from treatment based on their  
molecular profile, and to tailor chemotherapeutic regimens accordingly.

The aim of this course is to present a complete computational pipeline  
for the analysis and interpretation of Next-Generation Sequencing  
(NGS) data, such as exome sequencing or targeted panels that are  
commonly used in the clinic.

We will address the implementation of large-scale genomic sequencing  
in clinical practice and recently developed computational strategies  
for the analysis of NGS data. Particular emphasis will be placed on  
the interpretation of results, selection of biomarkers for drug  
responses and affording opportunities to match therapies with the  
characteristics of individual patient tumours.

Case studies will be used to illustrate the principles of how genetics  
has influenced the refinement of diagnoses and personalised treatment  
of cancer disease.

TBHD15 Course duration: 4 days      TBHD15 Course Fee: Euro 360.00
