VIRTUAL WORKSHOP PROGRAM HANDS - ON WORKSHOP PROGRAM
Genome Wide association studies (GWAS) provide an opportunity to understand genetic susceptibility to chronic diseases and the genetic basis of complex diseases. So far, around 450 genetic variants associated with increased risk of cancer at various sites have been discovered. GWAS studies have started to provide insight for screening of high-risk individuals by identifying them on the basis of genetic risk scores. The targeted genes identified by GWAS studies have been demonstrated to be the subject of somatic mutations reflecting the driver activity of GWAS identified SNPs.
Thus, these studies have great potential in identifying risk loci and offer prospects of maximizing drug discovery efforts. GWAS data are also being used to identify nongenetic risk factors and possible chemoprevention agents using Mendelian Randomization approach. So far, there has been limited GWAS research from India. Centre for Cancer Epidemiology, Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai has undertaken GWAS studies for common cancer sites.
The workshop will discuss design of GWAS studies, how to perform them in the laboratory and analysis of GWAS data.
Organizing team: Dr. Sharayu Mhatre, Dr. Rajesh Dikshit
Venue: Details coming soon
Date: 23rd February 2023
Time:9.30 am to 6.00pm
Colposcopy remains an important component of the cervical cancer screening programs as a triaging tool for investigation of screen-positive women, irrespective of the primary screening test. Colposcopy, if available in health services, is the best option to direct biopsies in order to confirm diagnosis, correlate with the severity of clinical disease and guide management of cervical pre cancers. Awell-trained colposcopist can understand the technical, interpretive aspects of Colposcopic findings and can recommend suitable contextual management plans.
This workshop is intended to simplify the learning of Colposcopy and cervical pre-cancer management. Step by step individual hands on training, Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and demonstration of procedures will be provided for participants in the Department of Preventive Oncology at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai.
