IFOM 2015

Dr Costanzo talks to ecancertv at IFOM EMBL about vertebrate genome stability, focusing on the DNA replication and repair in vertebrate cells. Additionally he discusses his research using extracts derived from Xenopus laevis eggs, which allow extensive biochemical analysis which can be reproduced in vitro complex cell cycle events such as chromatin formation, nuclear assembly, semi-conservative DNA replication, chromosome assembly and mitotic spindle formation.

Dr Longo talks to ecancertv at IFOM EMBL about his study of the positive effects of fasting, extreme diets and drugs that mimic them on the prevention and treatment of cancer.

Dr Casola talks to ecancertv IFOM EMBL about his research to dissect the genetic basis for responsiveness/resistance of lymphomas to current therapies.

Dr Scita talks to ecancertv at IFOM EMBL about at his work looking at tumour cell migration and the ability of the tumour cells to use different motility modes to disseminate as well as allowing the cells to 'escape' pharmacotherapeutic intervention.

Dr Avner talks to ecancertv at IFOM EMBL about his work looking at the epigenetic mechanisms that can lead to cancer and other diseases. His research seeks to understand why chromosome activation takes place and how they may be turned off to prevent their undesirable consequences.

Dr Dejana talks to ecancertv at IFOM EMBL about her work on one of the innovative aspects of anti-cancer therapies, inhibiting tumour growth by blocking blood supply. Her study takes a particular focus on brain tumours that currently don't currently have a effective treatment method.

Dr Foiani talks to ecancertv at IFOM EMBL about his study of the mechanisms which control chromosome integrity which in turn prevent genome instability and their pivotal importance for the cell.
