Background information on this month's topic
The research carried out in the Pandolfi laboratory focuses on the molecular mechanisms and the genetics underlying the pathogenesis of human cancer as well as on modeling cancer in vivo in model systems such as the mouse. Throughout the years the Pandolfi lab has identified and functionally characterized major novel proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressors (e.g. PTEN, p53, PML and POKEMON). The elucidation of the molecular basis underlying tumor initiation, progression and metastasis has led to the development of novel and effective therapeutic concepts that are currently being utilized and tested in clinical trials.
