On April 20th, Dr. Gemma Fuster, member of the Understanding Breast Cancer research group, participated in the technological seminars organized by the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Science. The seminar was about the chicken chorioallantoic membrane model, from microbiological to oncological research.

The CAM model is a very attractive in vivo model for many fields from microbiology, through embryonic and vascular development, and also in the field of oncology. It is a very powerful model thanks to its simplicity, high reproducibility, speed and low cost that allows from the approach in basic and pre-clinical research to applications as attractive for personalized medicine as patient derived xenografts to evaluate tumor evolution or drug screening.

Collaboration agreement with Dr. Verónica Noé, Professor of Pharmacy and Food Science, for the study of implantation of cancer cells in chicken embryos with different treatments.
