Quotes from some of our team members:
“Of course the most important goal is to help the patients survive the cancer. That’s the final goal, and if you can even be a small part in reaching that goal it is very important.” – Istvan Nemth
“I think that we focus on the patient. For instance, mass spec is such a technical thing, but all the things that we have to work with here are just tools to answer biological questions so we can help the patient. ” – Magdalena Kuras
“I really hope that we will be able to get developments within our center to develop a treatment or be part of a treatment that can be implemented for patient use. That is the absolute goal.” – Gyorgy Marko-Varga
“This is a big effort. So if we a big step forward in the fight against cancer, whether it is diagnosis or treatment. Through cooperation as well, that is going to be huge.” – Lazaro Betancourt
“We are trying to get scientists working together in a different way. Of course, there are a lot of scientists working together today, but there are also a lot of scientists who do not cooperate and keep it for themselves. So it’s a new way for us to get the science together.”- Roger Appleqvist
Our team strength:
