Radiotherapy is involved in 75% of all cancer treatments. The dose that can be delivered to the tumor however is limited to the tolerance of the surrounding normal tissues. Therefore, the Coppes lab focusses on the effects of radiation on normal tissues.

Next to the physiological mechanism interaction within and between irradiated tissues, the lab is interested in the response of stem cells to radiation and subsequent regeneration of damaged tissues. We developed in vivo and in vitro models on purification and characterization of mice, rat and human neuronal, salivary, thyroid gland and esophagus stem/progenitor cells. Recently we developed a protocol for adult stem cell therapy for radiation-induced hyposalivation and consequential xerostomia, which is now being translated to the clinic. Currently, the lab is investigating the possibly to use patient derived tissue and tumor derived organoids as a model to develop personalized medicine.
