Our locals are situated at Medicon Village in Lund, in the south of Sweden. From Copenhagen Airport to Lund CentralIt is fairly easy getting here from Copenhagen Airport (CPH) via train and a ticket costs around 180 SEK (16 EURO). You can download the Skånetrafiken app for buying tickets easily since you can no longer by tickets on the train.Tutorial on Youtube on how to take the train to LundSkån

We are dedicated to help children with cancer and our work is focused on neuroblastoma, a cancer derived from the sympathetic nervous system. Our overall goals are to investigate mechanisms of metastasis and treatment resistance, and to identify and test novel therapies against high-risk neuroblastoma. We have three main aims: 1. Development of clinically relevant cancer modelsClinically relevant

Preclinical Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography is a powerful optoacoustic imaging system for small animal imaging. It acquires cross-sectional images from head to tail, with high resolution, in vivo and in real time. The machine is also equipped with ultrasound computed tomography for further insights.

Live Cell Inverted Confocal Microscope The Zeiss 710 confocal laser scanning microscopes scan samples sequentially point by point. The microscope combines high-resolution optical imaging with depth selectivity which allows us to do optical sectioning. The inverted microscope is equipped with motorized stage, heated incubator, controller regulating O2, CO2 and humidity. This allow longitudinal imag

PI Johan Staaf Breast Cancer researchBreast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and a heterogeneous disease at the molecular level. This heterogeneity translates into differences in clinical manifestation, patient therapies, and ultimately patient outcome. TNBC is a subgroup of breast cancer, representing ~10% of all cases (9% in Sweden 2015). To date, this patient subgroup has often had

Our task is to understand the basic mechanisms behind tumor development. This understanding provides a basis for matching the right drug with the right patient and thereby offer better conditions for individualized treatment of cancer patients.

PI Yvonne Ceder Our researchProstate cancer is the most common cancer in men in industrialized countries, and the manifestation of distant metastasis is the major cause of cancer-related deaths in these men. Our research aims to deduce the role of post transcriptional regulation in prostate cancer initiation and progression. The current focus of our research is on RNA editing and m6A modification

PI Christer Larsson Our researchOur aims are to identify and understand mechanisms regulating breast cancer cell death and how inflammatory signaling can be induced and influence breast cancer progression. We specifically study Smac mimetics, small molecules mimicking the effect of the pro-apoptotic protein Smac. We investigate determinants of Smac-responsiveness and ways to circumvent resistance
