Announcement: The URPP “Translational Cancer Research” has closed most activities by 31.12.2022

Although our URPP officially runs until 31.12.2024, de facto most activities were closed at the end of 2022. As all URPPs receive half of the budget for the final 4 years, our consortium decided to work during the last 2 years with full power rather 4 years on half-flame.

We are very proud of our sustainable achievements. These were only possible thanks to the support and trust from the University of Zurich and inputs from the scientific community in Zurich.
Thank you.

Our final report will be published on this site in due time.
