Title:Epigenetic and transcriptomic drivers of treatment resistance in prostate cancer

Abstract: Prostate cancer is a major global health burden with highly heterogeneous paths for disease progression. Role of AR as a main genomic determinant of treatment resistance is well established. Yet, heterogeneous mechanisms that contribute to disease progressions and treatment resistance are not well understood, hindering clinical management of the disease. In my talk, I will focus on our recent work on epigenetic and transcriptomic mechanisms to address these challenges.
