Development of New Immunotherapies Targeting Cancer

Marcus Järås

With the goal to identify new immunotherapeutic opportunities, we study how leukemia cells interact with the immune system.

Cancer Cell Evolution

David Gisselsson Nord

We focus on childhood cancers to identify evolutionary principles that make tumors grow, spread, and survive modern treatment protocols.

Genetic Instability in Cancer

Karolin Hansen Nord

We aim to understand why high-grade cancers harbor unstable genomes and find ways to exploit this knowledge to improve treatment and survival of affected cancer patients.

The Molecular Pathogenesis of Leukemia

Anna Hagström

We aim to understand the mechanisms involved in hematopoietic cell transformation using a combination of genomic approaches and leukemia mouse models. We focus on understanding the biology of highly aggressive infant leukemias with the goal to improve survival.

The Genetics of Soft Tissue Tumors

Fredrik Mertens

The aim is to identify and characterize pathogenetic mechanisms involved in the development and progression of soft tissue tumors.

Aneuploidy in Cancer

Kajsa Paulsson

We aim to understand how aneuploidy - changes in the number of chromosomes – arises and affects cancer cells.

Translational Leukemia Research

Thoas Fioretos

We translate genomic discoveries into improved diagnostics, mechanistic understanding, and therapy of acute leukemia

Database of Chromosome Aberrations and Gene Fusions in Cancer

Felix Mitelman

The aim is to elucidate the pathogenetic role played by chromosome abnormalities and their molecular consequences in cancer causation
