Genetic/epigenetic basis of ethnic differences in cancer predisposition (ECAP)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,
"Integration of large scale genetic and epigenetic analysis needs to be coupled with well defined biological hypotheses that can be experimentally tested. This project is aimed at developing a novel integrated approach to understand genetic and epigenetic predisposition to cancer with skin as model system.The Caucasian (West European) and Asian (East Asian) populations differ substantially in thei ...

Development of Vascular-Disrupting Lymphocyte Therapy for Tumours (Antivessel-T-Cells)
Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2018,
T cell engineering with chimeric antigen receptors has opened the door to effective immunotherapy. CARs are fusion genes encoding receptors whose extracellular domain comprises a single chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody that binds to a tumour surface epitope, while the intracellular domain comprises the signalling module of CD3ζ along with powerful costimulatory domains (e.g. CD28 and/or 4-1 ...

Inflammatory signals emerging from the endoplasmic reticulum (ERinflammation)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves many general functions, including the facilitation of protein folding and the transport of synthesized proteins, but it also has an important and more specialized role in sensing cellular stress. ER-stress identifies a group of signals that induce a transcriptional program enabling cells to survive protein overload and injury in the ER. This highly coordinated ...

Organelle homeostasis: How are membrane fission and fusion machineries coordinated to regulate size and copy number of a lysosomal compartment? (ORGANELL)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
Yeast vacuoles (lysosomes) will serve as an excellent model system: Vacuoles change copy number and size in the cell cycle and upon shifts of media; due to their large diameter (up to 5 µm) these changes can be assayed by fluorescence microscopy and are amenable to genetic screening. Moreover, an in vitro system for vacuole fusion exists and we recently succeeded in reconstituting also cell-free v ...
