My PhD thesis on “Biomarker discovery for disease progression and metastasis in prostate cancer: a multi-omics approach" involved the development and characterisation of two independent cell line models for prostate cancer progression and metastasis. The use of a multi-omic (transcriptomic and proteomic) profiling approach resulted in the identification of core biomarker signatures and their evaluation and validation for the use as biomarkers.
