Prof. Kawauchi’s research proposal has been selected for the 2025 Natural Science Research Grant from the Daiko Foundation.
2025.09.09 Announcement
The research proposal focused on Grp4 medulloblastoma, a tumor for which knowledge of progression mechanisms is limited. We aim to analyze the interactions between tumor cells and neurons by utilizing a newly developed N1-SRC-induced cancer model and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. Given that Grp4 medulloblastoma exhibits a neural gene signature, strong interaction between cancer and neuronal cells is suspected.
