The focus of my research is tumor biology and the molecular mechanism in tumor progression. In my group we have established in vivo tumor models in mice and mini pigs, with the use of CRIPRS technology. Hereby, disease models can be generated rapidly with genetic alterations. The model can target different organs and multiple candidate genes simultaneously and therefore specific biological questions can be addressed in an in vivo setting. Currently, two projects are ongoing in these models, one focusing on lung cancer and one related to metastatic prostate cancer.
