KILL-OR-DIFFERENTIAT Using cell-cell interactions to unlock new cancer treatments: Forcing neural crest tumors back onto the developmental path

Coordinator: MEDIZINISCHE UNIVERSITAET WIEN (AT)

The interactions between tumor and its microenvironment are often critical to uncovering the mechanisms of tumor survival. A striking example is the recent success of immunotherapy approaches that expose tumor cells to immune attack by disrupting a specific interaction between the tumor and infiltrating lymphocytes. The tumor can also repress immune response by inducing complex interactions among dozens of immune and stromal cell types that typically make up tumor microenvironment, however those remain largely uncharacterized as we currently lack systematic approaches to uncover relevant cell…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €9.4M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2020-10-01 to 2026-09-30.
