Project Title: Gene set analysis for the development of pan-cancer radiotherapy response scores. Supervisor: Dr. Shirin A. Enger PhD Student Supervisor: Harry Glickman Hypothesis: The response to radiotherapy depends on highly complex pan-cancer genomic pathways. Precision radiotherapy prediction modelling studies generally focus on relatively small samples of single cancer types, without sufficient sample size to […]
