Epigenetic reprogramming of macrophages
Antimetastatic stimulation of local and systemic immunity
Expected key results
Genotherapeutic medicines

  • Genetically modified microorganisms to stimulate systemic anti-metastatic immunity
  • Genetically engineered microRNA constructs to block the metastatic potential of cancer cells
Gene technologies

  • Epigenetic editing of immunity
  • Test system for drugs blocking the transition from micrometastases to macrometastases
  • Genotechnology for the prognosis of the course of tumours in 7 localisations
Infrastructure for genetic engineering
  • Spatial profiling of the genome and transcriptome in situ using Nanostring technology
  • 3D bioprinting centre for preclinical research
