Funding
Our cancer research programme is funded by the Danish Cancer Society and the Novo Nordisk foundation.
Research vision
Our group is interested in the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms controlling progression of breast cancer. We use an integrated omics-approach involving both functional genomics and proteomics methods to investigate the molecular mechanisms controlling breast cancer growth, treatment responses and metastasis. In addition, we are interested in studying the dynamic interplay between cancer cells and the tumour microenvironment using single-cell technologies.
