The influence of stroma-metastasis interaction on tumor evolution (C02 [B07])

Subject Area Evolutionary Cell and Developmental Biology (Zoology)
Term since 2022
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 325931972
 
Project C2 will characterize adaptive processes of metastatic tumors and predict the seeding probability depending on tumor genome and environment. We will study colorectal cancer, which frequently develops liver metastases, and analyze single-cell data with our recently developed methods. This project will address how tumor environment shapes cancer evolution, how the tumor shapes its environment, and how these interactions affect the seeding of metastases.
