Cancer is driven by a multitude of pathways resulting in the critical need to implement a multi-platform and pathway-based approach.

Validated biomarkers are required to tailor cancer therapy to individual patients. Projects in our CBmed cancer area cover the full workflow from identification, validation and translation into clinical use. We are developing a novel drug screening platform using patient-derived tumour cells (PDCs) for ex vivo testing of novel anti-cancer compounds and repurposing of available cancer drugs to enable personalised treatment for each individual patient.

The drug-screening platform will complement and support all cancer projects focusing on liquid biopsies, metabolomic profiling and in vivo imaging. To this end, all efforts are bundled to advance cancer therapy towards precision oncology services enabling effective and efficient treatment for every single patient. CBmed cancer projects aim to develop easily applicable, targeted, minimally invasive biomarkers for better diagnosis, better therapy monitoring and a more personalised treatment of patients.
