The EACR’s Top 10 Cancer Research Publications: February 2022

Welcome to our new post-doc Maria Rafaeva!

Cell biologist by training, Maria recently completed PhD at BRIC, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Her work was centered around applications of the extracellular matrix, derived from decellularized tissues, in studying breast and pancreatic cancers progression. Advancing as a cancer researcher, she sets for the next challenge in tackling clinically relevant questions in Momo’s lab, where she will focus her efforts on uncovering mechanisms of therapy resistance in the metastatic breast cancer niches.

Congrats to Marion and Priska, both awarded prizes during the BBC annual meeting 2021

Congratulations to our lab members Marion and Priska who received the following prizes during the Basel Breast Consortium Annual Meeting 2021 in November.
