Opening of the transnational call "TRANSCAN-4 JTC 2026"
The FNRS participates in the transnational call for projects "TRANSCAN-4 JTC 2026" on the following topic :
“Translational Research on Cancer Metabolism: Multidisciplinary Approaches for Diagnosis and Treatment”
Aim of the call :
Aim 1: Enabling better cancer diagnostics and monitoring through metabolic biomarkers
Novel metabolic biomarkers and technologies offer major opportunities for earlier cancer detection, improved patient stratification and more accurate monitoring of treatment response and disease progression.
Aim 2: Intercepting metabolic vulnerabilities to improve precision medicine
Metabolic reprogramming in cancer creates unique dependencies that can be exploited therapeutically. Tumours often develop distinct metabolic signatures, shaped by oncogenic mutations, which drive tumour initiation, progression, therapy resistance, and metastasis. These metabolic adaptations open the door to precision medicine approaches that target defined metabolic vulnerabilities with tailored interventions.
