The Understanding Breast Cancer: cell and tissue microenvironment crosstalk (UBC) research line is leaded by Ph.D. Gemma Fuster and is centered to better molecularly know ductal carcinoma in situ in breast cancer, the most common pre-invasive form of breast cancer, and its transition process to invasive breast cancer, taking into account microenvironment influences.
Our research project focuses on understanding the role of the microenvironment (including both tumor crosstalk and influences) since it is crucial to understand and predict tumour evolution and treatment. The scientific and technical efforts made to better know crosstalk between these two compartments in tumor process can improve also the knowledge of tissue regeneration context cell’s relationship, contributing to other research TR2lab lines.
