Oncogene-driven immune escape (OncoEscape)
Collaborative Research Centre 1479
The Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1479 “Oncogene-driven immune escape” is a research consortium of clinical and basic tumor biologists and immunologist. Our CRC builds on the scientific hypothesis that oncogenic signalling and immune escape mechanisms are closely connected. This concept implies that targeting of oncogene-driven immune evasion could take treatment beyond palliative therapy towards cures for different types of cancer.
