Cancer Research

One in three people will contract cancer over the course of their life. Although cancer is still a common cause of death, great progress has been made in diagnosis, early detection, prevention and treatment as a result of intensive cancer research in recent decades. The Medical University of Graz conducts intensive research in all of these areas.

Amin El-Heliebi

"Cancer research can only succeed through interdisciplinary networking of fundamental, application-oriented and clinical researchers. The goal is to be able to apply molecularly targeted therapies from precision medicine through digital networking for the good of patients."

Amin El-Heliebi, spokesperson of the research field
