Translational research in childhood cancer
Our overall aim is to improve survival in childhood cancer and hematological diseases (histiocytosis). To do so we have several projects on different aspects of these diseases on clinical, molecular and cellular level as well as in clinical trials.
The main research projects are presented in the links below:
- Overcoming chemotherapy and immunotherapy resistance in childhood cancer. PI: Nikolas Herold.
- Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). PI: Jan-Inge Henter.
- Epitranscriptomics in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. PI: Frida Holm
- Spatial multi-omics and heterogenity in neuroblastoma. PI: Shahrzad Shirazi Fard
