Jacco van Rheenen receives NWO Vici grant to film the beginning of colorectal cancer

It's better to prevent colorectal cancer than to cure this condition after its development. In this project, NKI group leader Jacco van Rheenen (Intravital Microscopy) will film the early steps of tumorigenesis to identify factors that can be targeted to minimize this risk. These experiments could potentially identify novel ways to prevent or revert the risk of developing colorectal cancer.
