"Molecular Biology Tools - The key to new drug targets"
Design of gene expression cassettes with preferential activity in tumor cells: control by viral transcription factors or by promoters from aberrantly expressed genes
Improving strategies for cancer treatment by screening for synergy effects: prodrug converting enzymes as radiation sensitizers and specific antiviral therapeutics
