By using a combination of various state-of-the-art experimental model systems (3D, in vivo and in silico ) as well as clinical samples, the researchers investigate fundamental mechanisms that drive tumor initiation, progression and response to available treatments as well as improvement of current therapeutic options. The behaviour of cells is tightly controlled in time and space by signals they receive from their environment. Understanding molecular mechanisms that govern cellular communication and signalling in the healthy organism as well as in pathological conditions, is a prerequisite for the development of tefficient therapeutic interventions.<br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"py-0 wp-block-unilux-blocks-free-section section\"><div class=\"container xl:max-w-screen-xl\">\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"groups\"\n    >\nResearch groups<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"flex flex-wrap mt-24 -mx-16  wp-block-unilux-blocks-free-content-card\">\n    <li class=\"w-full sm:w-1\/2 lg:w-1\/3 px-16  wp-block-unilux-blocks-free-content-card-item\">\n    <div class=\"ulux-card card-residence bg-theme\">\n        <div class=\"ulux-card__container card__container\">\n                        <div class=\"ulux-card__visual wp-block-unilux-blocks-free-content-card-item-visual\">\n    \n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-image-video-wrapper\">\n    <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/Image1.png\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/Image1-300x285.png 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/Image1-768x729.png 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/Image1.png 813w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;
