Tumor Stroma Interactions
The Tumor Stroma Interactions group studies the mechanisms leading to leukemia progression.
Activities
The Tumor Stroma Interactions research group is a dynamic and multinational team studying the mechanisms leading to leukemia progression with the goal to identify new prognostic markers and therapeutic targets.
Some of the group’s research projects include:
- Exosomes in B-cell malignancies – to identify potential biomarkers in exosomes derived from murine preclinical models and cells of patients affected by hematologic malignancies and to test their influence on cells from the microenvironment.
- Tumor immunology – to identify new cellular populations which could be used as biomarkers for the response to treatment and potential new therapeutic targets.
- New therapeutic targets in CLL – to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and mode of action of new molecules inhibiting translation machinery and prohibitins in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), both in patient cells and in a murine model.
