Project: Anti-metabolic drugs promote of tumor cells, but they also induce effects on the tumor stroma and the immune system. The candidate will characterize cell-cell effects of a group of proteins secreted by tumor cells that may play a role in cancer response to anti-metabolic drugs. Experiments will include in vitro analysis of responses of different tumor microenvironment populations to experimental starvation, and in vivo effects of selected proteins during lung cancer and sarcoma development and treatment with anti-metabolites.
As part of our MSCA-ESR training on complementary skills we got to leave the wet lab to explore what happens on the other side of the bench and to learn what it means to be a scientific editor. This is our story.
