Triple ERC Success at the German Cancer Research Center
Three researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have each been awarded a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) this year. Daniel Kirschenbaum, Lena Kutscher, and Michael Scherer impressed the ERC with their innovative research approaches to fundamental questions in cancer medicine. With the funding, they plan to investigate why certain brain tumors occur more frequently in boys than in girls, how brain tumors suppress the immune system, and which epigenetic characteristics make cancer cells resistant to drugs.
