  Congratulations

  Congratulations to Jonathan Kiefer for being awarded a competitive “Pioneer Fellowship” from ETH Zürich for the development of novel antibody-based therapeutics to treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia and other hematologic stem cell malignancies! The project originates from a collaboration between the laboratories of Dario Neri (ETHZ) and Markus G. Manz (USZ and UZH). mehr

  Congratulations

  Congratulations to Steffen Böttcher for receiving a competitive Swiss Cancer League research grant in order to study the molecular mechanisms of the dominant-negative effect (DNE) of TP53 missense mutations in pre-malignancies and overt cancer! The overarching goal of this project is to devise novel therapeutic strategies to overcome the DNE using a combination of unique genome-engineered in vitro model systems with unbiased high-throughput screening approaches. mehr

  Congratulations

  "Congratulations to Ralph Fritsch who receives together with Chantal Pauli from the Department of Pathology a competitive Iten-Kohaut research grant in order to uncover individual therapeutic vulnerabilities in pancreatic cancer through ex vivo analysis of patient-derived 3D pancreatic cancer organoids (PDOs). Goals of the project are to establish novel biomarkers of chemosensitivity, uncover personalized combinations of molecularly targeted agents and identify novel drug targets and combinations through high-throughput combination drug screening." mehr
