Scientific project design in translational oncology

ALL PRESENTATIONS START AT 9:00 SHARP. 

Last presentation

The four groups will present their first ideas about the project (group A --> D order).

Group A will start at 8:40 sharp. Please verify before the start that your laptop projects well. 

Each group will present 1-3 slides. If not interrupted, each group should speak for about 5 minutes. With our suggestions and discussion, each group will take a maximum of 15-20 minutes. 

- Medical need and disease focus (type of cancer or disease stage)

- Target molecule or cell type, if any is pre-selected (e.g., oncogenic protein, tumor-promoting neutrophils, etc.). In some projects, there is no such target available to begin with, as the project may involve screening for new targets.

- The strategy at a glance (a new approach for, e.g., diagnostics, monitoring, or treatment of cancer)

- The key steps of the project (e.g., from screening/validation, to mouse or ex vivo experiments, to the design of a first clinical trial)

We look for new ideas, but you can use available approaches to be fine tuned/modified. The project should be feasible, so you will have to document the steps that you will make to experimentally test your approach.

We start at 9 am with group A.
