About this module

This module focuses on RNA biology and its significance in cancer pathology.

Students will explore gene expression, RNA splicing, and the detection of RNA-based alterations such as gene fusions and alternative transcripts critical for targeted therapies in oncology.

Learning outcomes

  • Provide the students with a basic understanding of RNA-related cellular and molecular pathways

  • Define transcriptome and why it is relevant

  • Identify pathological changes in the transcriptome

  • Introduce the main technical approaches to tackle the study of the transcriptome
