Area: Cancer
Area coordinator: Dr. Eloi Garí Marsol and Dr. Águeda Mártinez Barriocanal
The cancer area includes research staff trained in different specialties of Medicine and Biology. The common goal is oncology research integrating basic (model organisms), translational, and clinical research (trials).

Calcium cellular signalling
- Carles Cantí Nicolás
- Judit Herreros Danés
During tumor progression, cancer cells adapt to changes in the microenvironment (lack of nutrients and /or oxygen) through the activation of stress pathways and autophagy...
Cell cycle
- Eloi Garí Marsol
- Jordi Torres Rosell
The Cell Cycle group studies the molecular mechanisms that regulate the division of eukaryotic cells, in particular: (A) the mechanisms dependent on SUMO and SMC complexes that ensure genome stability during the cycle and in response to DNA damage...
Developmental and Oncogenic Signaling
- Mario Encinas Martin
- Francisco Javier Dolcet Roca
The team's goal is to study the molecular mechanisms that take place during embryonic development to form a complete and functional organism and how these mechanisms are affected in pathological situations such as cancer...
Drosophila disease models and (epi)genetic analysis
- Andreu Casali Taberner
Our research group embodies a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing diverse research lines that delve into both basic and translational research...
Molecular Oncology
- Diego Arango Del Corro
The main interest of our laboratory is the study of molecular events underlying the oncogenic process, especially in colorectal, gastric and head-and-neck cancer...
Oncological pathology
- Xavier Matias-Guiu Guia
The group studies the molecular alterations of endometrial and skin cancers, in correlation with clinical and pathological characteristics, using descriptive molecular pathology tools (immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, sequencing, epigenetics, gene gain and loss), as well as in vitro functional analysis in cell cultures (2D and 3D), and experimental animals...
Research group of Cancer Biomarkers (GReBiC)
- Jose Manuel Porcel Pérez
- Antonia Salud Salvia
- Maria Alba Sorolla Bardaji
Our research group is translational, multidisciplinary and young. It is composed of medical doctors specialized in Medical Oncology, Internal Medicine, Radiotherapy Oncology and Clinical Analysis; and basic researchers trained in Biosciences (Biology, Biochemistry, Biomedicine and Biotechnology) with a high degree of cohesion...
