Key speakers will share their specialist knowledge on sessions covering topics around dating, fertility, men’s mental health, managing anxiety, understanding clinical trials, and more.
One such expert is Professor Andrew Biankin, from the Glasgow Precision Oncology Laboratory. The Laboratory was established in 2016, to develop, apply and test better treatments for a range of cancers, including pancreatic, colorectal, ovarian, brain and liver cancer.
The researchers at the facility perform molecular tests and laboratory experiments on patient tumours, RNA Sequencing, models of disease, genomic mutational landscape, and phenotypes for clinical trials development. The University also offers training to clinicians, PhD and Masters students.
