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
