Front Line Genomics invites you to their event
About this event
The molecular profiling of cancer has enabled deeper insights into the complexity of cancer. From the development of the first targeted cancer therapy, to understanding cancer risk and putting in preventative measures, being able to tailor the cancer treatment pathway to an individual based on their molecular information holds a lot of promise for better outcomes.
However, a lot of a challenges remain with realising the dream of precision oncology. Among the challenges include the development and refinement of informative biomarkers, data interpretation and actionability.
Join us for this unique series: Precision Oncology ONLINE as we address the challenges associated with turning cancer research into the next era of cancer care.
14th October, 3pm BST/ 4pm CEST/ 10am EDT
The development of diagnostic assays and biomarkers that can be used in the clinical setting will transform the way molecular information is gathered and utilised in the patient cancer journey. This webinar will focus on research that advances diagnostics and biomarker development for precision oncology.
Cancer Biomarkers: unlocking the potential of Precision Oncology for patients and for health systems – Mark Lawler, Chair in Translational Cancer Genomics, Queen’s University Belfast
When tissue is an issue: urine as a liquid biopsy in oncology screening - Stephanie Jordaens, Biomedical Scientist, Novosanis and PhD student, University of Antwerp
Colorectal cancer – novel insights and opportunities to overcome therapy resistance – Andrew Beggs, Professor of Translational Genomics, University of Birmingham
Other webinars in the series:
7th October, 3pm BST/ 4pm CEST/ 10am EDT
With the ongoing research into the omics of cancer, our understanding is rapidly developing. However, the translation of these findings into the clinic is slow. This webinar will focus on how the molecular characterisation of tumours can translate into advances in the clinical management of cancers and bring us closer to the promise of precision oncology.
