Cell Growth and Differentiation (Translational Research part)

Aim

The students will be familiarised with various aspects of translational research in the field of Cell Growth and Differentiation, ranging from molecule to patient care. Current state-of-the-art technologies will be introduced and their application in various inherited and acquired (cancer) disorders, including target gene discovery, gene expression profiling, mutation scans, genomic profiling, (clinical) imaging and bio-informatics, will be dealt with. In addition, applications in (pre-symptomatic) screening and genetic counselling will be reviewed.
