중점연구소 정보
Center for Cell-to-Cell Communication in Cancers (C5 Center)
Director	Prof. Sebyung Kang	Information	Supported by National Research Foundation of Korea (KNRF) and Ulsan City (Period: 2018-2027, Total support: KRW 5,900,000,000)
Participants	Profs. HyungJoon Cho, Myunggon Ko, Eunhee Kim, Young Chan Chae, Taejoon Kwon, and Semin Lee	Center Goals	The C5 center’s research focuses on the elucidation of the tumor microenvironment (TME) composed of heterogeneous cancer cells and their complexed neighboring cells including normal surrounding cells and immune cells. The members of the center are collaboratively working on figuring out the fundamental mechanism of the tumor microenvironment and applying our basic knowledge translationally not only to diagnose the caner as early as possible but also to properly control the TME to cure many intractable cancers with newly developed therapeutic candidates.
