Fundings from The Danish Cancer Society 3 research projects at MDL have received fundings of 7.45 mill Danish kroner. The fundings run from 2011 to 2013 and support projects in bladder and prostate cancer. Out of 202 applications 56 projects have been funded with 74 mill Danish kroner by the scientific board of the Danish Cancer Society. The 3 projects at MDL are: Molecular changes in clinical bladder cancer. Identification of genetic and epigenetic biomarkers for prostate
cancer. Identification and characterization of circulating exosomes in
bladder cancer patients with focus on mRNA and non-coding RNA. |

2009-06-15: NormFinder software We are happy to note a frequent use of our NormFinder software and a high number of inquiries. Therefore, we have updated the NormFinder documentation (v19) and created a sample data set, which better illustrates the use of the NormFinder software. We hope to have answered frequently asked questions about group identifiers, data sheet organisation and evaluation of top ranked normalisation genes. If you need more help, please use the information on the NormFinder page. |

Afdeling, Skejby Sygehus arbejder vi med molekylær karakteristik
af blære-, prostata- og tarmkræft. Målet med forskningen
er at opnå en molekylær klassifikation af sygdommene
for dermed at kunne give en mere optimal behandling af patienterne.
Desuden er målet at opnå en større forståelse
af sygdommenes molekylære forhold i aktive pathways og i relation
til sygdomsforløb og behandlingsrespons. Du kan læse mere her Her |

Today,
when a patient is diagnosed with prostate cancer for the clinicians
it can be difficult to predict the aggressiveness of the disease.
Genomic
profiling of microRNAs in bladder cancer: miR-129 is associated
with poor outcome and promotes cell death in vitro. 
In
december 2008 MDL will move to new locations at the Science Center
Skejby (former residence of the newspaper Århus Stifstidende)
nearby and belong to the new Department of Molecular Medicine (MOMA)
at the Århus University Hospital Skejby.
