1. Vascular targeting for enhanced cancer immunotherapy
Abstract : Induced angiogenesis and chronic inflammation are major components of tumor immunosuppression. The scope of this thesis is to understand the role of the vasculature in anti-tumor immunity and thereby to improve cancer immunotherapy. READ MORE

2. Intratumoral Predictive Markers in Metastatic Renal Cancer Patients
Abstract : There is no established predictive marker for the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) patients. With a predictive marker, patients unlikely to respond could be selected upfront and offered other therapy options. Thereby, unnecessary toxicity could be avoided and costs would be reduced.

3. Endothelial activation and inflammation in the tumor microenvironment
Abstract : Tumors are composed not only of malignant cells, but also of various types of normal cells, including vascular cells and infiltrating immune cells, which drive tumor development and progression. The tumor vasculature is abnormal and dysfunctional due to sustained tumor angiogenesis driven by high levels of pro-angiogenic factors. READ MORE

4. Functional genomics of vascular endothelial cells
Abstract : Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting ones, is a process involved in normal development as well as in several pathological conditions, such as cancer, ischemic heart disease, wound healing and certain retinal complications. Antiangiogenic targeting is therefore a promising new therapeutic principle. READ MORE
