OBS this seminar is an internal seminar for center members - working at a university or hospital in Denmark.
Background:
Pneumatic tube systems (PTSs) are used in most hospitals in Denmark and abroad for efficiently transporting samples. With the implementation of cell-free DNA and circulating tumor DNA (cfDNA/ctDNA) analyses in the hospitals’ routine, it is crucial to assess the influence of using PTS for whole blood transportation on cfDNA/ctDNA quality/quantity.
Purpose:
The aim of this seminar is to plan a multicenter study involving the three most common PTS systems in Denmark in order to elucidate the influence of PTS on cfDNA/ctDNA quality/quantity using digital droplet PCR.
The Seminar Series
The Seminar is a part of a new initiative by The Danish National Center for Circulating Tumor DNA Guided Cancer Treatment; Seminar Series. The Seminar Series is a range of different seminars and workshops about ctDNA guided cancer treatment. They are open for everyone in the ctDNA Center - so feel free to share it with others who are working with or interested in ctDNA in Denmark. The seminars will be held approximately every second month.
The Seminar Series is an element of the ctDNA Research Center’s aim to facilitate national collaboration regarding research on ctDNA guided cancer treatment.
Everyone in the center can contribute with a workshop in their field of expertise or suggest wishes for a theme for a seminar - contact Anne Lærke Lorentzen,
