Project: Development of blood multi-omic biomarkers for early colorectal cancer detection and relapse

Acronym CRC-BMO (Reference Number: 114006)
Duration 15/05/2020 - 15/03/2023
Project Topic This project will develop novel blood transcriptomic and epigenetic biomarkers for early colorectal cancer detection and monitoring for relapse . The biomarker development strategy will leverage transcriptome profiling of whole blood and candidate tumor DNA methylation markers in cell free-DNA. Moreover, the project will develop an automated and structured data analysis pipeline including the most advanced machine learning methods to develop multi-omics signatures and validate them.
