3Moons: Modular, Multiscale, Oncology Networks

Cancer is a multifactorial disease with a striking heterogeneity due to genetic, epigenetic and transcriptional changes involving a myriad of genes and proteins. While these factors are relevant to clinical prognosis and medical treatment of patients, a system’s approach is needed to unravel the complexities underlying intertwining carcinogenesis mechanisms.

Identification of Novel Viruses Associated with Malignant Diseases

While viruses cause significant proportion of cancers, their real impact in cancer etiology and complications is still unknown. Indeed, viruses may be implicated in cancer more frequently than previously considered, which may lead to rethinking cancer treatment and prevention strategies. Little effort so far has been exerted to screen for infectious agents associated with cancer. Our long-term goal is to determine how cancer treatment and prevention can be improved in virus-associated cancers. Read more “Identification of Novel Viruses Associated with Malignant Diseases” →
