Genomics and bioinformatics for precision oncology. How cancer genomics data can be exploited through bioinformatics to obtain clinically useful information.
The topics of the conference will be:
- Extracting therapeutic indications from sequence analysis of tumor DNA -
- Bringing next-generation sequence analysis to clinical practice in oncology: the ACC experience -
- Molecular stratification of cancer by gene expression analysis: achievements and perspectives -
- Modelling cancer evolution -
- Cancer immunogenomics: prediction of cancer neoantigens, immunophenotyping, single-cell analyses -
- Impact of the microbiome on tumor onset, progression and response to treatment -
- Network analysis & systems oncology -
- Recognition of tumor-derived DNA in the blood by NGS data analysis -
The workshop is free, but the registration is mandatory.
