Monitoring of telomeres through colorectal adenomas to advanced stages of colorectal cancer

Lecturer: Mgr. Kateřina Balounová / Department of the Molecular Biology of Cancer

Annotation: Telomeres, repetitive sequences located at the ends of chromosomes, naturally shorten with ageing. Disruption in telomere biology is closely associated with the onset and progression of cancers, including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Given that CRC is one of the most common cancer-related deaths, we focus on studying telomeres and their potential use to characterise CRC subtypes, as well as serving as a suitable prognostic biomarker for this disease.

The seminar will take place on 2. 5. 2024 from 2 p.m. in the Turquoise Auditorium of the IEM CAS.

We look forward to your participation.
