Unique to LiU Cancer is its engagement of scientists from a wide range of disciplines from clinical application to engineering. By supporting interdisciplinary research, we build on strongholds of Linköping University and Regional Health Care to form a high-profile cancer research environment with the ultimate aim to improve patient care and survival. The aim of this track is to highlight some of these interdisciplinary projects initiated at LiU and promote further engagement and collaboration.
