SFB824

The SFB (Sonderforschungsprojekt = Special Research Area) aims at improving the success of cancer therapies with the help of imaging. The involved researchers want to develop new methods of molecular imaging with which the suc-cess of a treatment can be better predicted and the results of the treatment can be objectively and quantitatively collected. The research shall not only allow recognizing tumour tissue in an early state but also to objectively gather the results of a treatment based on biological signals. In addition to the metabolism in tumour tissue other cell biological processes like proliferation, vascularization and substrate transfer are addressed. Furthermore the demonstration of cell biological signals is used to evaluate the aggressiveness of a tumour. Imaging probes and optical methods shall finally allow the transfer of the molecular imaging from the animal model to the clinical situation. More(link is external)...
