Development and validation of diagnostic and prognostic models based on the integration of multiomic and clinical data in patients with solid tumours.
Cancer accounts for over 25% of deaths in Poland.
Medicine needs more effective methods for early diagnosis and for predicting the course of disease. Traditional approaches are proving insufficient, and the future belongs to precision medicine—one that integrates advanced molecular techniques with multidimensional clinical data.
PowerOMICS Project
The main objective of the project is to develop and validate diagnostic–prognostic models based on the integration of multi-omic and clinical data in patients with solid tumors.
The PowerOMICS project is funded by the Medical Research Agency (ABM) from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan funds – project number: KPOD.07.07-IW.07-0217/24.
The integration will involve datasets originating from different omics layers, including:
Germline analysis (exome – WES)
Somatic analysis (exome – WES)
Analysis of the expression of all genes in the tumor and in whole blood (transcriptome – RNA-Seq)
DNA methylation analysis in the tumor (methylome – RRBS)
Analysis of the expression of all miRNAs in the tumor (microtranscriptome – small RNA-Seq)
Analysis of a miRNA panel in plasma (liquid biopsy using nCounter NanoString technology)
For this purpose, next-generation sequencing (NGS) of biological material from tumor samples will be used:
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC)
Colorectal cancer
Glioma
The project will be carried out through four main tasks:
Creation of a comprehensive multi-omic database of oncology patients.
Development and validation of diagnostic and prognostic models.
Preparation of tests based on validated statistical models.
Clinical validation of tests using qPCR.
