Tumor Biology at SKOVDE UNIVERSITY: Biomedicine is a new area where medicine and biology have come together to support research from “bench to bedside”. Tumor Biology is an important field of research in Biomedicine. In the Tumor biology research group we work with a number of cancer forms to address specific questions in cancer development. The research activities in the research group have become more and more oriented towards a systems biology approach, i.e. to design, implement and analyze high-throughput screens in different cellular conditions. Our research, therefore, is performed in close collaboration with the Bioinformatics research group to implement bioinformatics methods and algorithms in analysis of molecular data. Examples of ongoing research topics: Analysis of gene expression data in endometrial cancer. Genomic aberrations in endometrial cancer MiRNA signature in endometrial and prostate cancer eQTL analysis of susceptibility data in an experimental tumor model for endometrial cancer Molecular biology of malign melanoma and colorectal cancer Identification of molecular markers for diagnosis and prognosis of cancer with the main focus of novel tumor suppressor genes Immunological intervention of endometrial cancer Correlation between bull fertility and miRNA signature of the sperm – Prediction of Bull Fertility Our is research is supported by: Knowledge Foundation Åke-Wiberg Foundation Svenska Läkarsällskapet (Swedish Society of Medicine) Erik Philip-Sörensens stiftelse Cancerfonden (via collaboration) Nilsson-Ehle Foundation Assar-Gabrielsson Foundation Sahlgrenska University Hospital Foundation Gunvor and Ivan Svensson Foundation Collaborations: Örebro University Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg University of Linköping Private company TATAA Biocenter Private company MultiD The research group: Professors Karin Klinga Levan Afrouz Behboudi PhD students Eva Falk Jasmine Lööf Sanja Jurcevic Benjamin Ulfenborg Kittichate Visuttijai Lab Technicians Karin Lilja Levan Helen Lindholm his.se/en/Research/Systems-Biology/Tumor-Biology/
