Research Grant Emmanuel Van de Schueren to Suzanne Vanhauwaert: BRIP1 and BIRC5 as novel therapeutic targets in neuroblastoma Ghent University
Neuroblastoma (NB) is an aggressive neural crest derived childhood tumor with poor survival rates, especially in

amplified in roughly half of all aggressive neuroblastoma cases, ALK mutations or amplifications in 10% of cases
and rare LlN28B amplifications. Chromosome 17q gain is by far the most common ...
