Fundamental Research
Understanding cancer at its core
To outsmart cancer, we first need to understand it. Our fundamental researchers study the biology of cancer cells in depth: how they differ from healthy cells, how they evolve, and how they respond to stress, treatment and their microenvironment. By uncovering hidden vulnerabilities, they lay the groundwork for future therapies. Curiosity-driven and internationally oriented, this community works in close interaction with clinicians, ensuring that new biological insights can ultimately translate into better care.
