Our objective is to understand the biology of brain metastasis in experimental models in order to develop new opportunities for treating patients suffering from this disease.
The laboratory develops research projects on brain metastases.
Our objective is to understand the biology of brain metastasis in experimental models in order to develop new opportunities for treating patients suffering from this disease.
We are always interested in keep improving experimental models to mimic more closely the human disease.
The functional analysis of candidate genes is the main objective of this project.
In this research project we study the role of brain cells (brain microenvironment) in the development of brain metastases.
We want to understand what are the molecular mechanisms that maintain a steady growth once metastasis is established.
We propose that characterizing the process of relapse after treatment could be key for improving current therapies and increase their benefits.
With a multidisciplinary approach applied to the biology of brain metastasis we intend to develop new approaches to answer clinically important questions. Our team consists of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers with previous experience in different scientific fields.
