Collaborations

Alleanza Contro il Cancro (ACC)

Alleanza Contro il Cancro (ACC), a consortium of 27 cancer centres across Italy. The PI coordinates the ACC Genomics Working Group. The ACC projects include:

  • The ACC lung pilot project, sequencing 1000 lung cancer actionable genomes with a custom targeted sequencing panel.
  • The ACC GerSom project, sequencing 4500 cases of breast, ovarian and colorectal cancer with a large panel including actionable, driver and risk-associated genes.
  • OncNGS, a European effort to build a novel comprehensive liquid biopsy test.

Institute of Biotechnology, Czech Academy of Sciences, BIOCEV

Role of NF1 in microtubule dynamics.

IEO

  • The PERSONA breast/ovary trials, to map cancer risk-associated genes in unsorted triple negative breast and ovarian cancer. Ancillary pojects explore radiomics and psychosocial matters.
  • The IEO838 trial, exploring biomarkers of response to neoadjuvant dual immune checkpoint blockade in locally advanced melanoma.

Social studies

  • With Chiara Demartini (UniPv) and Fabio Pammolli (PoliMi) on health economics of precision medicine.
  • With Ketti Mazzocco (IEO) for patients' decision-making in cancer risk management.
