Research Interest
The focus of my PhD project is the assessment of genome-wide somatic copy number alterations in combination with driver mutation analysis in circulating DNA of colorectal cancer patients. Two hypothesis will be tested; first, whether repeated circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis during therapy is able to predict treatment outcome of patients before the advent of clinical symptoms. Second, whether ctDNA analysis serves as prognostic tool for the likelihood of disease recurrence after surgery.
