This award funds a research project investigating how hybrid cells contribute to metastasis in colorectal cancer, aiming to identify biomarkers and support translational oncology career development.
Description
Research project to understand the molecular mechanisms of neoplastic cell metastasis in colorectal cancer, focusing on hybrid cells formed from neoplastic-macrophage fusion and the role of RUNX1 in hybrid cell dissemination. The study aims to identify biomarkers for early metastatic detection and support the candidate's career in translational oncology.
