Overview
The FSP-A groups focus on either the molecular, cellular and functional analysis of the mechanisms leading to tumor initiation, tumor promotion and tumor progression including metastasis or tackle fundamental discipline-independent biological questions.
Features
At German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, the scientists of the Research Program “Cell Biology and Tumor Biology” pursue towards this end the following specific aims:
- They investigate how genome stability is ensured, as inherited or acquired alterations in the genome are causative for tumor initiation and progression. The experimental program also focuses on epigenetic mechanisms and RNA biology.
- They study cell surveillance and damage control mechanisms, which allow cells to monitor molecular processes and respond to pathologic damage. This includes the control of protein stability and turnover.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- To tackle these issues, the scientists employ a broad array of highly specialized molecular, cellular and organismic tools and techniques. With scientific excellence being the primary recruitment criterion, outstanding groups are affiliated with the FSP-A.
- Thus, their cutting-edge basic cell and tumor biology research establishes the knowledge-based foundation for rational translation and exploitation into medical application for some of the most devastating human diseases.
