 | | EPIDAUROS and its collaboration partners at the Institute of Clinical Pharmacology in Stuttgart and the University Hospital Charité in Berlin found in clinical studies that there is a causal correlation between one particular genetic variation (polymorphism) in the MDR1 gene and P-glycoprotein expression. |
 | | EPIDAUROS and its collaboration partners have further demonstrated that a low expression of MDR1 in the kidney represents a risk factor in the etiology of renal cell carcinoma. |
 | | In the fall of 2001, EPIDAUROS and its research partners were honored with the Prix Galien Germany Award and the German Urological Society presented them with the Bard Award for their outstanding achievements in the field of drug transporters. |
