Prostate cancer is the most frequent malignant tumor disease of males in the Western world. To better study the causes and development of this disease, Dr. Friederike J. Gruhl, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), is developing a three-dimensional model of the prostate. Her work is aimed at modeling natural processes in the test tube (in vitro). In the long term, the in vitro model is to completely replace animal experiments in prostate cancer research. The state of Baden-Württemberg is funding the project with EUR 200,000.
