Received grant in 2019

DCCC has funded 132,000 DKK to the project.

Research indicates that the effect of radiation therapy is a combination of direct cell killing and immune stimulating effects. The immune stimulation may be enhanced in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors and the combination may represent a breakthrough in cancer therapy. There is a number of research groups in Denmark engaged in preclinical and clinical research in immune- and radiation therapy. On workshops, we wish to bring these efforts together with the aim of strengthening research in immune radiotherapy and give birth to new research activities across the country.
