Cancer is a heterogeneous disease and most fatalities from solid tumors arise from their ability to systematically metastasize. This metastatic cascade is a multi-scale process. In cooperation with the University Hospital Leipzig, we are realizing a full-scale biophysical analysis on selected primary tumor tissue samples. Covering a range from macroscopic bulk properties down to single cell features, we are aiming at an interdisciplinary tumor characterization to contribute to a better understanding of the systemic nature of the disease cancer.
