How does DNA-organization influence gene regulation?

Dr. Ineke Brouwer (Gene Regulation)

The way in which DNA is organized in the cell influences how the genetic code of the DNA is processed. This project will visualize the interplay between DNA organization and the reading of the genetic code using microscopy.

Does this good cop become a bad cop? The role of stromal cells in breast tumors

Dr. Julia Houthuijzen (Molecular Pathology)

Breast tumors consist of malignant and normal stromal cells. Communication between tumor cells and stromal cells can lead to tumour progression and metastasis. This project strives to understand via which signals stromal cells and tumour cells communicate and how this communication can be inhibited in order to improve anti-cancer therapy.
