Project
Encouraging grant 'Rosa Blanckaert 2019' for young researchers
The purpose of this translational research project is the development of a new combination immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer. We will focus on both activation of the immune system and at the same time inhibition of immune suppression. Importantly, not only the tumour cells themselves but also the pancreatic stellate cells which form a barrier around the tumour. by this unique focus, our innovative therapeutic approach has a higher chance of success.
