Division
Pediatric Oncology is a research group within Oncology that focuses on younger patients. The Department of Oncology promotes synergy in innovative oncological research. By creating a close link between bed and couch and by taking advantage of advanced technologies, our researchers want to expose important molecular mechanisms behind the development and progression of cancer and maximize the chances of translating these findings into better clinical biomarkers, adaptive strategies and innovative treatments.
