New discovery may pave the way for more targeted treatment of cancer patients Women with certain mutations in BRCA2 have an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. The new study can pave the way for more targeted treatment of a group of cancer patients with mutations in BRCA2.
Using artificial intelligence to fingerprint suspicious proteins An artificial intelligence tool created by researchers at the University of Copenhagen can quickly and accurately identify suspicious or particularly 'talented' proteins in our bodies based upon their movements alone.…

Using personalized medicine to avoid resistance to leukemia treatment T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is an aggressive cancer type that mostly affects children. The standard treatment is chemotherapy, but about one in four patients do not respond or develop resistance to this. Now,…
Danish Researchers Find New Breast Cancer Gene in Young People New research shows for the first time that RBBP8 gene variants may lead to the development of breast cancer in very young women.
Cancer Research Becomes Part of the Schedule for High School Students Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Herlev Gentofte Hospital have teamed up with teachers from Roskilde High School to develop new teaching material on data analysis, cancer and precision medicine. The…
Great International Recognition to Simon Bekker-Jensen Professor Simon Bekker-Jensen has been given one of the very prestigious ERC Consolidator Grants. The grant will be used to research defence mechanisms in the skin during stress and ageing.
Researchers establish global microbial signatures for colorectal cancer A team of researchers find patients with colorectal cancer have the same consistent changes in the gut bacteria across continents, cultures, and diets.
Proteins essential for DNA copying identified Results confirm prevalent theory A link between DNA copying and availability of histones was already proposed in the 70’ies, but has been impossible to verify. The researchers at BRIC have used a new and advanced…
Protein paves the way for correct stem cell differentiation Researchers from BRIC, University of Copenhagen, gain new insight into the molecular switches controlling stem cell differentation.
Researchers find gene that turns up effect of chemotherapy Chemotherapy is one of the most common treatments for cancer patients. New research from BRIC and Center for Healthy Aging have now found a way to turn up the effect of chemotherapy.
Researchers prevent cancer spread by blocking tissue scarring New research findings on fibrosis and cancer metastasis from Associate Professor Janine Erler's laboratory at BRIC
Research in cellular memory Associate Professor Anja Groth has received an ERC Starting Grant and has been selected for EMBO's Young Investigator Programme. Her research deals with how cells know what to become and how they sustain this memory…
Small molecules can starve cancer cells Researchers from BRIC have found that a small molecule in our cells can block autophagy in cancer cells making them more sensitive for treatment.
New discovery can improve breast cancer treatment BRIC researchers have elucidated BRCA2 function - the new knowledge can improve breast cancer therapy.
The TET1 enzyme steers us through fetal development and fights cancer To ensure normal fetal development and prevent disease, it is crucial that certain genes are on or off in the right time intervals. Researchers in Professor Kristian Helin's group at BRIC and Centre for Epigenetics,…
