Cluster III
Cell Regulation and Tumor biology
Cancer remains a public health problem due to inadequate responses to its onset or later resistance of many different tumors to current therapeutic drugs. This cluster attempts to improve our understanding of recently emerged cellular regulation processes that contribute to cancer progression, unveiling new therapeutic targets and strategies. Based on our results we will study particular aspects of protein trafficking and signaling, cellular plasticity, and genetic and epigenetic regulation in different tumor contexts. We will also study antitumor immunity and immunotherapy strategies, which will help to unveil how tumor cells avoid being recognized as strange immunogenic entities.
Research Lines
Protein trafficking, signaling and cell plasticity in cancer
Study particular aspects of protein trafficking and signaling and cellular plasticity in different tumor contexts.
Genetics, epigenetics and cancer therapy
Key determinants of how chromatin organization and transcriptional control through specific chromatin modifications can underlie tumorigenesis when altered.
Antitumor immunity and Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy as a new standard of cancer care aiming to restore or boost antitumor immunity mediated by T cells.
