Two TANDEM Grants by the ISREC Foundation strengthen translational cancer research at the DBM
The ISREC Foundation has awarded TANDEM Grants to two research projects involving scientists and clinicians from the Department of Biomedicine (DBM). These projects address significant challenges in cancer treatment, such as overcoming immune evasion in acute myeloid leukemia and understanding why T cells lose their anti-tumor function in solid tumors. By bringing together complementary expertise from basic and clinical research, both projects reflect the translational approach at the heart of the TANDEM program.
- Targeting immune evasion in acute myeloid leukemia
- Understanding why T cells lose their function in tumors
Although the two projects focus on different cancers and biological mechanisms, they share a common goal: understanding how the tumor environment suppresses the immune response and using this knowledge to improve cancer treatment.
