Short description of project
Nowadays, emerging capabilities are being introduced to a more personalized molecular approach in medicine with individual risk assessment and best suited care. An important tool for translational research in this field is the large number of human archive tissues (AT), with any kind of disease, stored in hospitals all over Europe. Tissues from biopsies or surgical therapy are fixed and paraffin embedded to obtain a histopathology diagnosis, and then stored in archives for many decades. We developed already the technology that allows molecular research at DNA and RNA level in paraffin embedded tissues, so that the findings can be evaluated in the proper context. These methods were first designed by European scientists. In this way it is easy to study lesions with long follow-up, rare diseases, viral persistence or molecular pattern of lesions with known therapy outcomes.
