GRK 686:
Mechanisms of Solid Tumor Development and New Concepts of Experimental Therapy
Subject Area
Basic Research in Biology and Medicine
Term
from 2001 to 2004
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 273245
The research training group focuses on the effect of cellular alterations and external factors in the origin of solid tumors and aims to establish new anti-tumorigenic therapies. For this the programme combines in a multidisciplinary attempt the fields of clinical and basic life science research, by the inclusion of the disciplines Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Pathophysiology, Human Genetics, Oncology, Pharmacology, Radiation Biology and Virology. As a major educational goal the programme wants to introduce MD students into basic cancer research and graduate students into more clinical-orientated research questions. As an integral part the participants of the research training group are offered a variety of interdisciplinary lectures such as a special oncology lecture, educational seminars, and practical courses in different methodologies.
