Short course on biomarkers in cancer epidemiology
11 December 2006 - 11 December 2006
United Kingdom
The EU-funded Network of Excellence ECNIS (Environmental Cancer Risk, Nutrition and Individual Susceptibility) will hold a short course on biomarkers in cancer epidemiology in London, UK on 11-13 December.
The course is aimed at the researchers who already have a grasp of epidemiological methods such as principles of data analysis or study design. It is also suitable for those researchers who have some familiarity with molecular technology, terminology such as polymorphism, adducts, haplotype, and microsatellites.
The course will focus on the introduction to population based epidemiological studies that involve the measurements of molecular targets, using a range of methods including DNA adducts, mutations, chromosome translocations and gene expression, with special emphasis on the specificities of the study design and biomarker validation.
Topics covered in the course include: biomarkers and their validation; design of epidemiological studies; biomarkers of nutrition; proteomics; exposure assessment with biomarkers; gene-environment interactions; biomarkers of genotoxicity; metabonomics; new biomarkers and their development; ethical aspects of biomarker use.For more information, please visit:
