All staff and students are invited to Edmond Kwan's PhD confirmation

30 January, 11.30am - 1pm, Level 7 boardroom, TRF

Presentation title: 

Androgen receptor variants: predictive and prognostic biomarkers, and overcoming treatment resistance in advanced prostate cancer

Synopsis: 

The last several years has seen the approval of multiple new therapies for advanced prostate cancer, particularly targeting the androgen receptor (AR) axis. Despite improvements in clinical outcomes, resistance to these agents is inevitable.  This project aims to characterise a predictive biomarker for resistance to AR-axis targeted agents, and determine alternative treatment approaches to overcome this resistance.
