Abstract: Liquid biopsy is revolutionizing the way we detect and monitor diseases - especially cancer - by offering a simple, minimally-invasive alternative to traditional tissue biopsies. By analyzing fragments of DNA, RNA, or cells shed into the bloodstream, this cutting-edge technique enables earlier diagnosis, personalized treatment decisions, and real-time tracking of disease progression. Its potential to transform patient care is immense, making it one of the most exciting frontiers in modern medicine. This seminar will focus on the latest developments of liquid biopsy in the field of cancer research and its applications in oncology.
The CCBIO Seminar series
CCBIO has a monthly research seminar where invited guests and international or national speakers focus on current research topics and updates.
The CCBIO Seminar series fulfills several aims.
- Firstly, it conveys relevant biomarker research to the local scientific community and students and younger researchers in particular, providing the ground for future recruitment.
- Secondly, it is part of two formal courses, BMED380 on the master level, and together with the CCBIO Annual Symposium, forms CCBIO902, a PhD-level course.
- Last, but not least, the CCBIO seminars are an important arena for informal interaction between international researchers, CCBIO PIs, and other CCBIO staff as well as interested researchers and students in general.
All interested researchers, students, and others are welcome!
