BIG-THERA Project in next round of funding
05.11.2018 - 10:49

It’s a great pleasure to announce that the BIG-THERA Project’s funding was approved for another year!

The Emerging Fields Initiative (EFI) BIG-THERA gathers a multidisciplinary team of highly competitive scientists, who are all well established in their respective fields of studies. Consequently, expertise in clinical and pre-clinical breast cancer research, immunology, genetics, imaging, theoretical physics, data mining, as well as nanomedicine is combined in a unique setting of FAU with the aim to:

  • improve methods for non-invasive early diagnostic and therapy follow-up based on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
  • elucidate the interplay between the immune system and cancer growth to segregate immunologically distinct breast cancer subtypes for immunotherapy design
  • create new strategies for affecting immunophenotyping of tumors using nanomedicine-based techniques
  • resolve ethical challenges associated with the new advancements in breast cancer research
  • optimize therapeutic decisions using Big Data and approaches, which rely on the information acquired through OMIC studies, imaging as well as modeling in vitro, in vivoand in silico.

A total of 300.000 EUR will be used to further drive research in the field of breast cancer diagnosis in 2019!
