Upcoming

Thursday 1 May, 12.00-12.50

Oleg Blyuss, 'Early detection of lung cancer using multiple longitudinal biomarkers'

Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality, with early detection being crucial for improving patient outcomes. In this talk, Dr. Oleg Blyuss will discuss the integration of multiple longitudinal biomarkers generated using Olink platform to enhance early detection strategies. By leveraging statistical models and advanced AI techniques, Dr. Blyuss will explore how temporal patterns in biomarkers can be used to identify high-risk individuals before symptoms appear. The talk will also cover challenges in predictive modelling, and clinical translation, highlighting the potential of multi-biomarker approaches to transform lung cancer screening and early diagnosis.
