Cancer genomics and targeted therapeutics 

Are you interested in targeted anticancer therapy and curious about the types of genetic alterations that can be targeted? And do you wonder how we can determine which patients benefit from a certain drug?

In this PIVOTTalk Tessa de Bitter PhD (Cancer Genomics) takes you back in time on cancer treatment and genome sequencing. She also explains how existing therapies are currently selected to treat specific cancer patients, and gives examples of targeted therapy approaches.

Jeffrey Kooijman MSc (Bioinformatics) goes into depth in regards to cancer cell lines as a model for anticancer drug profiling and the linkage of genomic data to therapy response. He will also answer the question if cell lines can be used to identify drugs that preferentially target cancer cells with a specific biomarker.

Join this interesting talk now and within 30 minutes you will be immersed in the theme of cancer genomics and targeted therapeutics.
