Posted by Karen Chelcun Schreiber On May - 22 - 2009

Group name/Designation:

Cancer Genetics

 

Group Leader:

Raquel Seruca

Principal Investigators related to gastric cancer research:
Carla Oliveira ( HDGC molecular genetics),
Fátima Carneiro ( Molecular Pathology),
Gianpaolo Suriano and Jose Carlos Machado ( Gastric cancer related signalling pathways)
Céu Figueiredo (Helicobacter pylori related research)

 

Principal Investigators related to breast cancer research:
Joana Paredes (Signalling pathways related to breast cancer invasion), 
Fernando Schmitt ( Molecular pathology),

Location of the Group (Host- Institution):

 IPATIMUP, Porto, Portugal

  

General Objectives of the Group

The research of our group focuses on the genetics of three common types of epithelial cancer: gastric, breast, and colorectal carcinoma. We focus at identifying 1) germline genetic alterations (high and low penetrance genes) associated with increased risk of these tumours; 2) pathological features and somatic molecular markers occurring in the setting of hereditary and sporadic carcinomas; 3) signalling pathways mediated by genetic and gene-environmental factors in tumour development in order to find molecular targets for therapeutic intervention.
