Diagnostics

Whenever possible, we strive to offer novel therapy options for pediatric cancer patients for whom standard procedures have failed. Hence, our researchers of the preclinical KiTZ program (head: Prof. Stefan Pfister) examine the tumor tissue of those patients to systematically look for new druggable targets. A central element of these examinations are molecular diagnostics.
