Föreläsningar och seminarier Functional precision cancer medicine: biological insights and clinical translation

With progress in ex-vivo cancer model systems, it is possible to directly explore the response patterns and vulnerabilities of cancer cells to 1000s of drugs and drug combinations. We use acute myeloid leukemia as a proof of concept disease for precision cancer medicine. We apply multi-omics molecular
profiling and functional assays to discover novel therapeutic concepts, map drug response landscapes and associated biomarkers and molecular mechanisms.
