Cancer Cell Circuitry Laboratory

 Photo: Klefström Laboratory Members

Our laboratory is located at Biomedicum Helsinki and is affiliated to the Biochemistry Unit of Institute of Biomedicine and the Genome-Scale Biology Program.

Our interests are in the cellular programs that are selectively active in cancer cells as a result of oncogene activity.

Our aims are to understand the nature and interconnections of these cancer cell pathway circuitries as well as to develop molecular strategies that would provoke the tendencies of cancer cells to undergo apoptosis or premature senescence.

In our research we use combination of retroviral & lentiviral gene transfer techniques and genetic, biochemical & cellular analyses as well as functional genomics approache to explore the effects of oncogenes on the life and death decisions of cells.
