Project: Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare childhood tumor. In this project we aim to identify new possibilities for short circuiting cancer metabolism, based on the genotype of these tumors, which may lead to novel drug combinations.
Expected Results: To identify metabolic factors and pathways important for fusion protein-associated pediatric sarcomas progression.
The new work developed in the lab of META-CAN’s coordinator, Cristina Muñoz-Pinedo, has finally seen the light in a paper at PNAS. The study has been possible thanks to an amazing group of researchers and the funding of two MSCA Actions: TRAINERS (GA 675448) and META-CAN (GA 766214).
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 766214.
