Our research
Our research is about childhood cancer neuroblastoma. We work to understand the mechanisms leading to metastasis and treatment resistant relapse, and to test new treatment against aggressive neuroblastoma. Our projects encompass studies on basic tumor biology as well as preclinical and translational studies with the aim to find novel treatments. We perform molecular and functional studies of primary and metastatic tumor cells, as well as drug testing using in vitro and in vivo patient-derived model systems. Discovery of novel strategies to inhibit treatment-resistant metastatic tumors can increase survival and decrease side effects for high-risk neuroblastoma patients.
