Oncology and Hematologic Malignancies
Clinical research includes a broad cancer portfolio spanning acute myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, neuroendocrine neoplasms, lung cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastroesophageal cancer, melanoma, and prostate cancer.
- Targeted anti-cancer therapy
- CAR T-cell therapy
- Genomic profiling
- PET imaging
- Myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms
The oncology programme also covers mucositis, radiation-related xerostomia, and treatment-related complications in patients receiving intensive cancer care.
Cardiovascular and Thromboembolic Disease
Research activity spans myocardial infarction, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, atrial fibrillation, aortic stenosis, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, pulmonary embolism, and venous thromboembolism.
- Acute coronary syndromes
- Antithrombotic treatment
- Valve disease
- Pulmonary vascular disease
- Post-resuscitation care
Additional studies address peripheral artery disease, carotid atherosclerosis, transcatheter aortic valve implantation, and postoperative cardiovascular management.
Neurology, Critical Care, and Pain
