ERC Synergy Grant for EVO-DETECT
We are thrilled that our group leader Martin Peifer and our long-standing collaboration partner Matthias Fischer (University Hospital Cologne) are part of EVO-DETECT. The European Research Council is funding the project for six years with up to ten million euros.
The goal: a blood test that finds neuroblastoma long before clinical diagnosis by picking up the earliest (epi-)genetic traces of the tumor. Screening of all infants and toddlers is the long-term vision.
Martin and Matthias team up with Frank Westermann (DKFZ) and Gudrun Schleiermacher (Institut Curie).
Congratulations to the entire team!
