Description: This PhD course is aimed at PhD students working within the field of translational and clinical cancer research. The course will touch on several topics related to translational cancer research, including basic science methodologies, statistics and bioinformatics, and the key points in clinical trials. The basic science lectures touch upon molecular pathology, tumour heterogeneity, molecular biology as well as the currently used methods to elucidate these topics. The bioinformatic lectures will focus on workflows for personalized medicine, biomarker development, interpretation of sequencing data, and clinical implications. The clinical lectures will discuss current clinical questions from bedside - basic science - bedside, clinical evidence for PM, drug development and legal aspects.
Literature: Relevant book chapters and scientific articles will be advised.
Prerequisites: The PhD students will be involved in a presentation of their own scientific projects (gunshot model). It is expected that all PhD students have read the scientific papers that will be circulated 4 weeks before the course.
Evaluation: Participants are expected to attend all lectures as well as to present their own projects and actively take part in scientific discussions.
