Research and development of new diagnostic and therapeutic metodologies

The aims of this course will be to provide an up-date knowledge of novel, emerging basic and technical aspects in the diagnosis and therapeutic approaches in cancer.
In particular, the course will be focused on mouse models, organoids, relevance of NGS in the context of tumor heterogeneity, the emerging role of non coding RNAs as therapeutic platforms, the advance of minimal residual disease approaches in the management of patients in the era
of new drugs, and the physical bases and possible applications of the most important imaging techniques

In particular, by following this course it will be possible to learn about:
Animal models as diagnostic and therapeutic tools
Rationale for NGS studies in cancer
The clinical relevance of the non coding RNAs
Molecular monitoring of hematological malignancies
Imaging techniques for clinical and pre-clinical oncological studies
