Our research is focused on gene discovery, functional gene annotation and signaling in cancer. We study biological processes, such as malignant transformation, tumour evolution, metastasis or drug response and resistance. See examples in: Nature 2018 Feb 1;554(7690):62, Nature Reviews Cancer 2020, Oct;20(10):573. Cancer Cell. 2023 Jul 10;41(7):1327; Nat Methods. 2024 Apr;21(4):584.
We develop and deploy genetic technologies and bioinformatics methods for high-throughput applications, such as genome-scale screening approaches using CRISPR or transposon systems. We are also running a sequencing facility and conduct translational studies using human samples or genetically engineered model organisms. Multidisciplinary teams of cancer biologists, mouse modelers, clinicians, molecular geneticists, sequencing experts and informatitians are working closely together in a highly creative environment.
