Research focus of MSCA candidate will be assessment of the tumor microenvironment of aggressive primary tumors, such as brain and lung, using spatial biology techniques, in order to understand immunobiology and select potential biomarkers for more efficient treatment of cancer. Research will be related to the work and international involvement of Cancer Biology group.

Cancer Biology group has an excellent scientific output in the last decades, in particular in the field of understanding human brain tumors and its microenvironment, including the role of cancer stem cells and supportive microenvironment in the therapy resistance, and the development of novel therapeutic approaches against cancer. The group aims to understand aggressive primary tumors using state state-of-the-art approaches and methodologies in molecular and cell biology, including patient-derived 3D cellular models, confocal/light-sheet microscopy, and spatial biology approaches.
