Roundtables - Summer 2020
Discussions involving faculty outside of our field on a specific topic that is new to us. We typically read more than one paper for each meeting, and it is overall a way to be exposed to a new topic. More specifically the process of developing biomarkers for prognostic diagnostic value using population based evidence will be reviewed.
