The Laboratory of Radiation Biology is a cancer research department within
the Oncology Clinic, The Finsencenter, at Copenhagen University
Hospital/Rigshospitalet situated in the centre of Copenhagen.The general
objective of the department is to study molecular and phenotypic features
of lung cancer and brain tumours.In particular, growth factor receptor
studies are of interest.The primary aim is to generate more insight into
the influence of growth factors and their receptors on the malignant
phenotype, and the secondary aim to extend that knowledge to the clinic.
This implies testing potential new diagnostic and prognostic tools, as
well as suggesting new translational treatment modalities, targeting
therapies and inhibition of signal transduction.
