Ovarian Cancer Tumor Profiling Resource Published in Nature Communications

The Tumor Profiler Consortium celebrates the publication of a comprehensive multi-omics resource for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) in Nature Communications. The study demonstrates that integrated multimodal tumor profiling can inform personalised maintenance treatment decisions and reveals how chemotherapy reshapes tumour cell diversity.

Multi-Omics Guidance Safe for Advanced Melanoma Treatment

The Tumor Profiler Consortium celebrates the publication of a comprehensive safety analysis demonstrating that multi-omics-guided therapy selection is safe and feasible for patients with advanced melanoma. The study, published in JCO Precision Oncology, represents the first comparative safety analysis of multi-omics informed therapies.

Call for Abstracts Open

The Tumor Profiler Consortium invites the TPC community to participate in the 7th Zurich Precision Oncology Conference 2026, hosted for the first time jointly by the Comprehensive Cancer Center Zurich (CCCZ), The LOOP Zurich, and the Tumor Profiler Center.

Multi-Omics Profiling Proves Cost-Effective: TPC Melanoma Study Published in npj Precision Oncology

A comprehensive cost analysis from the Tumor Profiler melanoma project has been accepted for publication in npj Precision Oncology. The study demonstrates that multi-omics-guided treatment decisions do not lead to significantly higher treatment costs compared to standard care, addressing a key concern in precision oncology implementation.

Navignostics Wins Swiss Technology Award in Start-ups Category

Navignostics receives Swiss Technology Award

Navignostics, a precision oncology company with roots in TPC-affiliated research, has been awarded the prestigious Swiss Technology Award 2025 in the Start-ups/Rising Stars category. The Tumor Profiler Center extends warm congratulations to the Navignostics team for this outstanding achievement.

Zurich Expands Precision Oncology in a Pioneering Way – Four New Research Initiatives to Launch in 2026

Zurich Precision Oncology

With a targeted expansion of precision oncology, University of Medicine Zurich (UMZH) is strengthening its leading role in Swiss cancer medicine. Beginning 1 January 2026, four new highly innovative research projects will launch, further paving the way toward individually tailored cancer therapies. The goal is to sustainably improve care for patients in Zurich and across Switzerland.

The University of Medicine Zurich (UMZH) is making targeted investments in strategic centers to strengthen Zurich as a hub for research and innovation and to accelerate the translation of new medical approaches into patient care. Supported institutions include the Comprehensive Cancer Center Zurich (CCCZ), the Tumor Profiler Center (TPC) and The LOOP Zurich. These centers unite top expertise in precision medicine, oncology, data science and translational research, and play a vital role in developing and applying personalized diagnostics and treatment approaches in clinical practice.

Snijder Lab Wins Precision Medicine Award 2025 for Pharmacoscopy Technology

The Tumor Profiler Consortium congratulates Prof. Berend Snijder and the Snijder Lab on receiving the Precision Medicine Award 2025 from Oxford Global for "Biggest Technology Impact of the year". The award recognises their pioneering work on pharmacoscopy, a functional precision medicine platform.

TPC Data Enables AI Model for Predicting Protein Expression from Standard Pathology Images

HistoPlexer Framework Overview

Research published in Nature Machine Intelligence demonstrates that multimodal data from the Tumor Profiler Center can train artificial intelligence models to predict spatially resolved protein expression patterns directly from routine histopathology slides. The study, published on August 4, 2025, presents HistoPlexer, a deep learning framework with potential to make advanced molecular profiling more accessible in precision oncology.
