Aim

The overall objective of the project (attracting human resources to science): promote the attraction of human resources to science, by attracting young scientists, foreign scientists and doctoral candidates to research

The specific (scientific) objective of the project: develop three new technologies for the diagnosis of malignant endocrine and neuroendocrine tumor and differential diagnosis, which are based on the determination of biological potential of the tumors, using immunohistochemical and molecul markers and contrast ultrasound
