Often termed as a disease of the genome, cancer is the result of random acquisition of mutations that activate oncogenes and inactivate tumor suppressors. Consequently, cellular processes including cell cycle control, transcription, apoptosis and DNA repair are affected, conferring incremental growth advantages to cells and fomenting tumorigenesis.
The group aims to translate new synthetic lethal interactions between DNA repair genes into novel therapeutic targets in oncology.
At the BioMed X Institute, we are working with different state-of-the-art research tools and methods, emerging from the different research projects. As a Special Interest Group, we continuously grow our internal spectrum of laboratory tools and methods.
Since 2013 we have started 16 research groups and successfully completed 9 projects. After a project term of 5 years all data, materials and intellectual property rights are transferred to the sponsoring partners.

Our management and project teams are regularly represented at events and report there about BioMed X and our ongoing research.
For us at BioMed X, publishing the results of our research projects in peer-reviewed journals is key. We also share results at national and international meetings and workshops. We think this is vital to building collaborations and stimulating cross-fertilization of ideas and methods.
Fellowships at BioMed X are limited to a defined project term. During this period, all fellows focus their attention on biomedical research as well as personal growth in order to get ready for their next big challenge in academia, industry or a startup. The Special Interest Group “Career Development” is a grassroots initiative of BioMed X fellows organizing events and training courses.
