VASC-IMMUNE Targeting the vascular-immune interface to induce anti-tumor immunity

Coordinator: UPPSALA UNIVERSITET (SE)

In this ERC Synergy Grant, we will characterize the vascular-immune interface in melanoma and glioblastoma and explore the perivascular niche as a site for local anti-tumor immune activation.Cancer immunotherapy has made tremendous progress in the last two decades, but a vast majority of cancer patients do not benefit from this progress yet. Refinement of established immunotherapies will undoubtedly increase response rates. However, conceptually brave new therapies must be developed to make additional breakthroughs. The tumor vasculature plays a key role in orchestrating anti-tumor immunity b…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €9.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2025-02-01 to 2031-01-31.
