About Dwek Institute for Cancer Therapy Research

The Dwek Institute for Cancer Therapy Research explores the molecular mechanisms characteristic of cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment (blood vessels, immune cells, etc.); strives for an in-depth understanding of the complexity of the “death program” installed in every cell; and identifies new and efficient biological approaches to override tumor cell death resistance. Our goal is to identify drugs and other types of treatment modalities that would kill cancer and cancer accessory cells with minimal or no damage to healthy tissues.
