CCRI - Cyprus Cancer Research Institute

Το Ευρωπαϊκό Συμβούλιο Έρευνας (ERC) ανακοίνωσε τη χρηματοδότηση του έργου PRECISION ImmunoRad στο πλαίσιο των ERC Synergy Grants 2025, με τη συμμετοχή του Ινστιτούτου Καρκίνου Κύπρου (CCRI).

Το CCRI, που ιδρύθηκε το 2019 με τη δωρεά του Ιδρύματος “George and Kaity David” και με θεσμική συμμετοχή του Πανεπιστημίου Κύπρου, του Ογκολογικού Κέντρου Τράπεζας Κύπρου και του Καραϊσκάκειου Ιδρύματος, αποτελεί έναν από τους τρεις φορείς υποδοχής (host institutions) της διεθνούς κοινοπραξίας.

Ο Καθηγητής Κωνσταντίνος Κουμένης (University of Pennsylvania) θα αναπτύξει νέα ερευνητική ομάδα στο CCRI, εστιάζοντας σε καινοτόμες ανοσοθεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις με CAR T κύτταρα και mRNA εμβόλια.

Η χρηματοδότηση ανέρχεται σε 14 εκατομμύρια ευρώ για διάρκεια έξι ετών.
