Transformation and Metastasis

The Transformation and Metastasis group at IBBTEC investigates the signaling pathways involved in abnormalities during cancer and metastasis. The ultimate goal of these studies is to identify new modulators that can represent new therapeutic targets to stop metastasis and that can be directly translated into effective prevention or treatment strategies. The group has a multidisciplinary focus and works with chick embryo and mice models, organoids and 3D cultures, clinical samples and molecular and cellular biology techniques patient-derived xenografts, to translate basic research into relevant clinical results.
