DESCRIPTION:Katrin Heider (Medical Sciences) will speak about her research
 :  Did you know… If you were born after 1960\, you have a 50% chance of 
 being diagnosed with cancer during your lifetime!\n \nHowever\, with the i
 mprovements in treatment\, many patients are now able to live for many yea
 rs after their cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately\, this is mostly true for t
 he cases where the cancer was diagnosed at an early stage and patients are
  monitored closely for the rest of their lives.\n \nTherefore\, a major go
 al in battling cancer is to improve the detection and monitoring of cancer
  to ensure that more patients can live longer after diagnosis. My lab chos
 e liquid biomarkers to meet this need. Using bodily fluids like blood\, ur
 ine\, and saliva we are developing and improving techniques to successfull
 y detect and monitor cancer.
