Magnetic Isolation and moleculaR Analysis of single CircuLating and disseminated tumor cElls on chip (MIRACLE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2015,
Cancer remains a prominent health concern afflicting modern societies. Continuous innovations and introduction of new technologies are essential to level or even reduce current healthcare spending. As the analysis of occult tumour cells (OTC) in blood or bone marrow is most promising in this respect, MIRACLE aims to develop a low-cost, fully automated, integrated lab-on-a-chip (LOC) system for the ...

Determining (epi)genetic therapeutic signatures for improving lung cancer prognosis (CURELUNG)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
"Lung cancer (LC) is still the most lethal type of cancer worldwide. The extremely poor prognosis for LC patients is partly due to the lack of effective therapies. At present, most patients with pulmonary carcinomas are treated with chemotherapy. This essentially consists of classic cytotoxic drugs which only improve survival in small cohorts in few cases. In spite of the rapidly growing understan ...
