Advancing cancer precision medicine through cell-based functional assays and microfluidics. Finding the needle in a haystack to improve pediatric leukemia treatment

Manzano Muñoz, Albert (Date of defense: 2022-12-15)

[eng] Personalized medicine has emerged to improve cancer treatment beyond classical approaches. The identification of genetic mutations by molecular analyses dominate personalized medicine initiatives promoting clinical ...

Biomechanics of the progression of colorectal carcinomas

Fornabaio, Giulia (Date of defense: 2023-04-14)

[eng] Living tissues are active materials with the ability to undergo drastic shape and dimension transitions. If properly controlled, these morphological changes allow various physiological phenomena such as embryonic ...

Development of microfluidic devices for cancer cell isolation

Sierra Agudelo, Jessica Nathalia (Date of defense: 2024-02-23)

[eng] The emergence of liquid biopsies has been useful for the diagnosis of physiological conditions, inflammatory processes, and especially represents a good alternative tool for non-invasive analysis of tumor-derived ...

Development of tunable bioinks to fabricate 3D-printed in vitro models: a special focus on skeletal muscle models with potential applications in metabolic alteration studies

García Lizarribar, Andrea (Date of defense: 2022-01-28)

In vitro engineered three-dimensional tissue models are attracting an increasing interest due to their potential applications in preclinical assays. On the one hand, they are an alternative to the high costs, ethical issues ...

Dynamics of nanoparticles in 3D tumor models

Olea, Rodica-Alis (Date of defense: 2024-01-15)

[eng] In the last decades, great research effort was focused towards designing nanocarriers for cancer therapy. However, nanoparticle translation from basic research to the clininc has proven to be a challenging task, with ...
