CANBIO - PhD Training Program

The projects within CANBIO will investigate different types of escape mechanisms in various cancer types (e.g. lung cancer, melanoma, glioblastoma) and at different levels:

• At the molecular level by generating and analysing large scale molecular data (genome, proteome, transcriptome, metabolome)
• At the cellular level by studying phenotypic data (cell and organ behaviour)
• At the level of whole organisms (patients, patient-based animal models).

The research program is divided into three thematic areas or work packages (WP):

• WP1 - Intrinsic Escape Mechanisms
• WP2 - Induced Escape Mechanisms
• WP3 - Disease Monitoring and Biological Networks

The CANBIO PhD training program is governed by three further work packages (WP4, WP5, WP6) related to organisation and training.
