Precision therapy of cancers requires a stratification of patients and an identification of therapeutic targets by integration of multi-level omics data, metabolic data and clinical data from oncological cohorts. The grand challenges in clinical oncology are therapy failure and the occurrence of tumor relapses after radiotherapy. Main causes of therapy failures are tumor heterogeneity, tumor immune escape, tumor metabolic processes and tumor-intrinsic signaling that lead to therapeutic resistance. The personalized treatment of cancer requires finer grained stratification of patients for which we develop stratification markers and models predicting local and distant tumor control after radiotherapy. At the same time, we use these insights to identify novel therapeutic targets and combination therapies.

Elizabeth Blackburn - Molecular Biologist "I didn't want to just know names of things. I remember really wanting to know how it all worked."
