This i s a great possibility to learn hosting skills in friendly environment and create connections for future. Every student is welcome to join\, in spite of which research group they belong to. BioCity Turku will offer the lunc h.\n\nIf you got interested\, please send an email to biocityturku@bioscie nce.fi\n\n \;\n\nMetastasis is the main cause of death for cancer pati ents. To colonize distant organs\, cancer cells communicate with their env ironment to overcome obstacles such as infiltration of foreign tissues and adaptation to supportive niches. Although metastasis is an inefficient pr ocess\; we currently fail to understand it\, to prevent it and to have dur able responses. The group of prof. Olivier De Wever at the Laboratory of E xperimental Cancer Research dedicates its resources to improve the underst anding of the communicative determinants between cancer cells and their ho st tissue. The results of this research can be clustered in two topics: i) 3D cell culture models (such as spheroids) and patient-derived models (ex vivo and xenograft) to study metastasis-associated cellular activities. i i) The identification of adaptive communication skills between cancer cell s and host cells (cancer-associated fibroblast\, CAF) and its impact on ca ncer management strategies\n\n \;\n\nSelected publications\n\nPost-ope rative minimal residual disease models to study metastatic relapse in soft -tissue sarcoma patient-derived xenografts.
