However, over time the consortium was able to launch several major project-lines, supported in part by the National Science Funds, a Genome Program, and the Ludwig-Boltzmann Society. Today, the VCSCC provides a robust intellectual platform for ongoing research in the field of translational oncology and CSC-research in Austria. In addition, the VCSCC is connected to several major CSC-networks and centers in Europe and in North America, and is a well-recognized group in the field. The VCSCC also organized a series of CSC Meetings and Conferences, and contributed essentially to a recently published classification of CSC. There is also hope that the VCSCC-consortium will further advance the field of CSC research in the future, and will create novel concepts, with the ultimate aim to improve anti-cancer therapy through elimination, suppression, or long-term control of cancer-initiating cells.展开更多
