Join us at Free State Brewing Company for Science on Tap with Dr. Rebecca Whelan, Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Kansas. In this talk, Dr. Whelan will discuss biomarkers, a biological molecule that can be measured to report on health and disease.
Making the best use of biomarkers to diagnose and cure disease requires that the biomarker is well understood at the molecular level and that reliable tools to detect the biomarker are available. Ongoing research in the Whelan lab addresses both requirements, with a focus on ovarian cancer biomarkers. This SoT presentation will describe the promise and challenge of biomarkers broadly and highlight how innovations in sequencing technologies and AI-guided structure prediction—along with tried-and-true laboratory methods—have enabled new insight on the gold-standard ovarian cancer biomarker.
This free presentation/Q&A is open to the public and will be held in the beer hall area at Free State Brewing Company. Please note that seating is limited, so we encourage you to arrive early! 🍻
