Welcome to the Department of Immunotechnology
We conduct research in focus areas such as immuno-oncology, biomarkers and sensitisation, and collaborate with researchers and clinicians world-wide.
CREATE Health
Inaugurated in 2006 with a focus on precision medicine, CREATE Health is a strategic centre for translational research focusing on the early diagnosis and prognosis of cancer, as well as the development of novel treatment strategies. (CREATE Health's website)
