Description: This PhD course will focus on the classic research strategies to obtain diagnostic as well as therapeutic improvements as the background for a paradigm shift from "one fits all" to individualized strategies in clinical practice.
The complex cancer biology model for oncogenesis will be presented documenting the importance of the translational approach for the future - requiring new multidisciplinary engagements. Based on highly selected lectures and papers, we will discuss novel, cutting edge technologies (Multiparametric Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting, Microarray Technologies, Gene Sequencing, Biobanking), Cancer models (Cancer Cell Lines and Mice Models) and the future design of trials (treatment, diagnostics) and endpoints while adhering to scientific rigor when interpreting results and decisions.
The course will include lectures, workshops and journal clubs. The outcome for participants will be insight into new technologies and approaches allowing the future researchers to participate in the translation of scientific discoveries into cost-effective and meaningful clinical improvements in patient care.
