Speaker
Prof Roel VERHAAK is Professor and Associate Director for Computational Biology, The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine.
Abstract
The highly lethal nature of glioma results in a huge year of potential life lost cost. High throughput sequencing has identified somatic alterations in primary disease but these have been hard to target, and as a result improvement in clinical outcomes has lagged behind compared to other cancers. An improved understanding of the mechanisms of glioma progression is needed to develop higher efficacy therapies. Through sequencing of patient tumors and model systems, we show how the glioma genotype and phenotype evolves over time.”.

About the Lecture & Workshop series - cancer research
The LIH lecture and workshops series in Cancer Research, supported by the FNR and jointly organized with the University of Luxembourg, are gathering internationally recognised speakers to address topics around Cancer Research. Please find here the full programme for 2017-2018.
This lecture will be followed by a workshop especially dedicated to early-stage researchers.
Attendance to the lecture and workshop are free of charge. Should you be interested in registering for the workshop, please feel free to do so by sending us an email.
