On Wednesday 25 August at 14:00, Ann Taber defends her PhD dissertation entitled "Prognostic and Predictive Biomarkers in Bladder Cancer".
Delineating the most important tumor-cell-intrinsic and microenvironmental features involved in bladder cacncer development and oncological outcomes are of utmost importance to improve the clinical management of bladder cancer. Several studies have already expanded our knowledge of the mutational, transcriptomic, and immunological landscape of bladder cancer, and numerous promising biomarkers have been published. However, their impact on clinical practice has been minimal, as none of these biomarkers have been implemented in the clinic. The overall aim of this PhD project was to identify clinical valuable biomarkers in bladder cancer that could aid patient prognostication at different stages of the disease. We used an array of different platforms, which allowed us to identify potential prognostic and predictive biomarkers in bladder cancer.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place online via Zoom (https://aarhusuniversity.zoom.us/j/69050261290). Please read the attached press release for more information.
