miRNA-based identification of subtypes in colorectal cancer. KU Leuven
As the field of cancer therapy is moving more and more towards personalized medicine, there is an urgent need to classify colorectal cancers based on their biological mechanisms that drive them. In this project, we are aiming to use a recently discovered class of molecules, microRNAs (miRNAs) that are linked to the control of cancer cell growth. By profiling tumors based on the levels of these miRNAs, we expect to classify tumours into distinct ...
