| Purpose of the course | |
| Intended learning outcomes | At the end of the course the student is expected to: - Understand lung cancer tissue processing for biobanking, and extraction of DNA, RNA and proteins - Know how to apply molecular techniques on clinical lung cancer tissue samples - Have basic knowledge about lung cancer pathology - Be oriented about the frontlines of genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic lung cancer research - Understand standard and targeted therapy concepts for lung cancer, and coupled biomarker research and diagnostics. |
| Contents of the course | The course aims to convey a basic understanding of how modern high throughput molecular analyses can be applied to clinical lung cancer tissue, with regard to opportunities and limitations imposed by diagnostic sampling and tissue processing. The students will be introduced to basic diagnostic algorithms, treatment strategies, cancer histopathology and molecular diagnostics, as well as to exploratory translational research in lung cancer genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics. A final goal is that the students shall be able to formulate a translational project related to their own research interest. |
| Teaching and learning activities | The course will be organized as a one day lecture/seminar module (in Stockholm), followed by a second day with microscopy seminars and visits/introductions to pathology laboratory units for tissue processing, biobanking and molecular diagnostics (in Uppsala). As a basic learning process we emphasize informal critical dialectic constructive discussions throughout the course (""Filip och Fredrik pedagogic""). The students will be provided before the starting of the course with material that they should read in advance and that will be used as base for the lectures and discussions during the course days. |
| Compulsory elements | Full attendance during the two days ""on site"" module is compulsory. |
| Examination | To pass the course the students must show that they have reached the learning outcomes of the course. This will be assessed formatively during the two days ""on site"" and by writing a potential translational lung cancer project related to their own research interests afterwards. |
| Literature and other teaching material | The students will be provided with relevant research papers | Course responsible |
