Focus of research
- Evaluating Immunotherapy in Melanoma: studying biomarkers to predict toxicity and efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with early stage and advanced melanoma.
- Exploring local regional immunotherapy for melanoma: investigating local regional immuno-stimulating agents (e.g. TLR-receptor agonists, checkpoint inhibitors or cytokines) in early stage melanoma or integrating them in the treatment of advanced melanoma
- Innovative Clinical Trials: aiming to improve clinical outcomes for patients with melanoma and urological cancers, particularly focusing on the integration of new immunotherapeutic approaches.
- Monitoring quality of care for patients with melanoma or prostate cancer: investigating real world data to determine the efficacy and safety of new treatments for subgroups of patients with melanoma or prostate cancer.
