The University of Lausanne (UNIL<\/a>), the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL<\/a>) and the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV<\/a>) have teamed up with Roche<\/a> to work on preclinical, clinical and translational research projects in specific areas of oncology. The focus will be on immuno-oncology and targeted therapies within the tumor microenvironment, which are \u201cincreasingly important pillars in the development of oncology therapies and among Lausanne and its institutions\u2019 main strengths”, said<\/a> world-renowned specialist George Coukos, head of the UNIL-CHUV Oncology Department.<\/p>\n

Joining forces for excellence in oncology<\/strong><\/p>\n

This partnership combines the respective strengths of the parties involved. UNIL, EPFL and CHUV bring cutting-edge skills in basic, translational and clinical research, as well as in bioengineering, immunoengineering and innovative technology. Roche, whose financial participation amounts to about 6 million francs over at least three years, offers an extensive expertise in the research and development of molecules.<\/p>\n

“Roche’s visionary commitment through this clinical and preclinical strategic alliance is an important step in the development of the Lake Geneva region as a region dedicated to excellence in oncology,” said Professor Douglas Hanahan, head of the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC<\/a>), which is part of the EPFL School of Life Sciences.<\/p>\n
