Institute Presentation

At the Medical University Graz (MUG) the largest European biobank is hosted. Moreover, the members of the consortium at the Institute of Pathology, MUG have full access to very large series of patient tissue samples from all cancer types that will be investigated in this project, in particular of Colon cancer samples. This Austrian partner can investigate not only small biopsies from living patients but also tissue specimens from autopsies. Detailed characterization of the used samples is the basis for a successful project. Therefore, data on carefully histologically and immunohistochemically analysed specimens will be provided. Blood samples will also be collected by our staff members, generating the resources for the search for circulating tumour cells and circulating tumour DNA. Professional registration systems containing anonymous and well structured as well as validated information on blood and tissue samples will be provided by our team. We are also experienced in generation of xenografts.
