DR-100 Development of novel diagnostics for personalisation of glioma patient’s therapy based on whole-genome sequencing data and mutational signatures

The main purpose of the research project is to develop new diagnostic biomarkers that will be used for personalised therapy selection in glioma patients. We will download the genomes of Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors from the Hartwig Medical Foundation and perform Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) data analyses with particular emphasis on the assessment of development of new diagnostic tool predicting the response to temozolomide. This data mining will also demonstrate the trajectories of cancer development, for example genome-wide response to inflammation and molecular mechanisms responsible for the origin of the mutational signatures.
