Cancer Biomarkers Research Group

A Master's student joining the Cancer Biomarkers Research Group at IIS-FJD will have the opportunity to become immersed in cutting-edge research focused on improving cancer treatment outcomes. The student will contribute to crucial projects, including the identification of predictive biomarkers and the investigation of mechanisms of treatment resistance in breast cancer.

          The student will have the opportunity to engage in a range of activities that will provide a comprehensive learning experience in cancer research. Specific tasks and learning opportunities include laboratory techniques (cell culture, molecular biology assays, animal models), biomarker identification (data analysis, validation studies), mechanisms of treatment resistance (experimental design, functional assays), and eventually translational research of clinical relevance.

          Furthermore, the student will have the opportunity to collaborate on studies involving other tumor types, including melanoma, colon, head and neck, and lung cancers. This environment encourages scientific growth and innovation, providing the student with a robust foundation for a future career in cancer research.

          By engaging in these tasks, the Master's student will acquire a solid foundation in cancer biology, advanced laboratory techniques, and the principles of translational research. This experience will prepare them for a successful career in biomedical research, whether in academia, industry, or clinical settings.
