Tumour genomics – Lauri Aaltonen's research group

Our research revolves around genomics of benign and malignant tumours. The work scrutinizes both hereditary and acquired genetic mutations and variations that can cause uncontrolled cell growth. The overall aim is to create, integrate, and interpret information on human tumourigenesis to facilitate cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. At KI, our research is so far focusing on two types of tumours

Part of the:

Vårt forskarteam på KI har hittills fokuserat på två typer av tumörer; godartade livmodermyom och tjock-och ändtarmscancer.
