Research topics

1. Survival analysis in cancer. Our main goal is to develop tools to link cancer survival and gene expression or mutations based mono- or multigenic prognostic signatures. We develop online accessible tools for automated evaluation. We participate in international collaborations aiming the validation of identified prognostic and predictive signatures.

2. Cell culture studies. We strive to identify resistance biomarkers of targeted therapy agents used in oncology. We utilize cell culture models to inhibit and/or silence target genes. Then, the magnitude of response to chemo- and targeted therapy is evaluated and the phenotype changes are characterized.

3. Linking genotype to clinical response. We process next generation sequencing data generated by the TCGA consortia. We process the entire gene sequence and the expression of all genes in multiple thousand patients from various solid tumors. By linking different levels of data we can directly link a genotype change to genes with an effect on clinical outcome.
