Insight into the mechanisms of cancer development and progression are essential for development of novel treatment modalities, novel diagnostics, to ultimately improve patient selection for personalized treatment. A core strength of the UMCG is the close collaboration between clinical and preclinical researchers. The Molecular Oncology program will further enhance collaboration through novel research programs in the Research Theme Oncology within the Research Institute MOHAD.

The Molecular Oncology program includes the following research areas:

  • Carcinogenesis of solid and hematological cancers
  • DNA damage, genome maintenance and inflammation
  • Biology and relevance of senescence in the development cancer and adverse effects
  • Cancer metabolism
