Biostatistics drop-in workshop

​Are you a researcher needing support with any statistical aspect of your work? The Biostatistics Consulting Service here at Meilahti Campus holds drop-in workshop sessions every other week to answer smaller questions about your analysis - solving a particular problem, how to get started, etc. We provide service in Finnish, English and Swedish.

 

The next workshop is on Wednesday 13th September, at 13:00-15:00 in Biomedicum 2B, in the Olohuone on floor 6. Come whenever you can. Note that you may end up waiting a while for your turn, especially early on in the session. We aim to spend no more than 15 minutes with each customer.

 

Bring: 

·       your computer

·       your data

·       your questions

and we biostatisticians will be on hand to help and guide. 

 

Registration is not required, but you can help us prepare for your questions by filling in this form. The workshops are open to any researcher at the university's Medical Faculty, HUS or FIMM. 

The autumn's following sessions are planned for 27.9, 11.10, 25.10, 8.11, 22.11 & 13.12 (not 6.12!).

For more in-depth questions, please book a one-on-one consultation session using this e-form where we will have time to go into more detail.

FICAN seminar Sampsa Hautaniemi

​​Characterizing and overcoming chemotherapy resistance mechanisms in ovarian cancer
Sampsa Hautaniemi
DTech, Professor of Systems Biology, Director, Research Program in Systems Oncology (ONCOSYS) & EU Horizon, 2020 consortium DECIDER
Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki
Chemotherapy resistance is one of the greatest contributors to cancer mortality. A prime example of the impact of our current inability to overcome treatment resistance is seen in ovarian high grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), which is the most common subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer. While 90% of HGSC patients show no clinically detectable signs of cancer after surgery and chemotherapy, tumors become progressively resistant to chemotherapy leading to five-year survival of <40%. We have established a prospective, longitudinal, multiregion observational study DECIDER (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
NCT04846933) to characterize and overcome chemotherapy resistance in HGSC. In this presentation, I will discuss our latest ffindings on chemotherapy resistance mechanisms in HGSC, derived from comprehensive patient-level data and ex vivo experiments. Specifically, I will focus on highlighting computational methods that facilitate high-quality data collection from patient samples, HGSC tumor evolution before and during chemotherapy, as well as translating research findings to benefit patients.
