CONCERN FOUNDATION

Estados Unidos, 2024

The Concern Foundation (USA) Title: Reprogramming of the Metastatic Niche by Tumor Cell-Derived Factors Role: Principal Investigator Years: 2024-2026 Total Direct Cost per year: $75,000.00 Description: This study aims to validate mechanistically how specific factors secreted by metastatic tumor cells reprogram the composition and activation state of non-malignant cells at the metastatic site. Here we combine high dimensional flow cytometry analyses and molecular cancer biology, with syngeneic system of breast cancer metastasis.
Grant number BCRF-23-183 (USA).
