Research project
CAM-PaC
The overall aim of CAM-PaC is to contribute to solving the socioeconomic and health challenges of PDAC by an integrative and systematic functional analysis of pancreatic cancer candidate genes. CAM-PaC will develop novel cellular and animal models, as well as novel strategies to analyse and integrate large scale metabolic, transcriptomic and genetic data from these models, in order to systematically identify, characterise and validate novel targets for therapeutic intervention and bioinfomatic models for predictive diagnostics.
