Cancer is a complex problem. Its causes are myriad. We want to precisely comprehend it and we examine the molecular interactions.

»Pediatric brain tumors mainly result from pathological alterations during brain development. We therefore must understand the development of the central nervous system in order to identify origin, growth and therapeutic opportunities of the tumors.«

»Cancer research is an enormous challenge. We must not let up in our efforts to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of cancer because they are the key to new innovative therapeutic strategies.«

»We are interested in how cancer cells process signals. Cancer cells behave differently than normal cells. We want to elucidate these differences in order to develop new, targeted therapies.«

»We explore individualized approaches in blood stem cell transplantation and immune therapy in order to develop a tailored therapy for our high-risk patients.«
