Cancer Research KI maps cancer research principle investigators across KI: Database
|
|
Cancer Research KI has created a database of cancer principal investigators at KI, which are classified based on diagnostic areas. The aim of the database is to foster new collaborations, learn more about specific cancer areas, or explore industrial interactions.
The first version of the database is already available and it is continuously completed and updated. We would therefore like you to be in contact with us if you find that your name has been erroneously entered, is missing or if you would like to complete the current information in any way. Please send your update request to cancerresearchki@ki.se.
