Project description
I will develop a bioinformatics tool to identify drug candidates for lung cancer patients using RNA sequencing data from different blood fractions (circulating tumor cells, exosomes and cell-free circulating nucleic acids), enabling a more precise patient treatment. It will be tested in lung cancer (case study) but the developed tools will also be useful for other cancer types.
