Cell Lines, Microarrays, Drugs and Disease: Trying to Predict Response to ChemotherapyKeith A. Baggerly, Ph.D.Speaker Dr. Baggerly is an Associate Professor, Bioinformatics & Comp Biology at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. Learning Objective Describe, in outline, how microarray profiles might be used to predict patient response to chemotherapy. Name at least three problems that have plagued current attempts. Discuss what it means for research to be "reproducible", and identify steps that can be taken for this to be more likely. Target Audience Researchers and clinicians actively involved in topics that relate to cancer prevention and control Date/Time/Place Wednesday, November 7, 11:00 a.m. For Additional Information Office of Preventive Oncology If you are a person with a disability and require any assistive device, services or other reasonable accommodation to participate in this activity, please contact the Office of Preventive Oncology at 301-496-8640 at least one week in advance of the lecture date to discuss your accommodation needs. |
