1. Preclinical tumor-immune modeling : For the identification of immunomodulatory drugs
Abstract : For a long time, the field of cancer research was dominated by a tumor cell-centric view. That, however, changed once it became recognized that medical cancer treatment is largely influenced by the combined effect exerted on both cancer and immune cells. READ MORE

2. Development of sensitive cellular assay systems and their application to the identification of "orphan" seven-transmembrane receptors
Abstract : Seven-transmembrane, G-protein coupled receptors play a central role in physiology since they facilitate cell communication in multicellular organisms by recognition of a broad range of ligands. They also represent important drug targets. READ MORE

3. Circumventing drug resistance : Studies exploring the expediency of a total cell kill chemoresistance assay
Abstract : Cellular resistance to anti-cancer drugs is considered to be the major cause of treatment failure in clinical practice. The present studies have therefore focused on ways to circumvent resistance as evaluated by an in vitro chemoresistance assay. READ MORE

5. Integrating Efficacy and Toxicity in Preclinical Anticancer Drug Development : Methods and Applications
Abstract : Preclinical testing is an important part of cancer drug development. The aim of this thesis was to establish and evaluate preclinical in vitro methods useful in the development of new anticancer drugs. In paper I, the development of non-clonogenic assays (FMCA-GM) using CD34+ stem cells for assessment of haematological toxicity was described. READ MORE
