Our research unit is formed by a multidisciplinary team composed of biologists, medical oncologists and pathologists with the common objective of understanding the molecular alterations involved in cancer to help in patients´ diagnosis and prognosis.
We have currently several projects on going aimed to find new biomarkers and molecular targets that can be used towards a precision medicine, opening new avenues in the therapeutic options, using tissue and liquid biopsies. We believe that our work is predestined to have a clear clinical application that could change cancer diagnosis and would help oncologists for personalized treatments.
