The Biogem Molecular and Precision Oncology laboratory participated to the yearly conference of the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR 2024), which took place in Rotterdam. The group, led by professor Michele Caraglia, presented a work (first author Marianna Scrima) on the transcriptomic characterization of single cells from patients with laryngeal carcinoma. ''The study – says Alessia Cossu, one of the authors – was carried out thanks to the fundamental contribution of the Biogem Bioinformatics and Computational Biology laboratory and aims to fully understand intra-tumoral heterogeneity, i.e. the diversity between the cells of a single tumor''.

The Dutch conference is part of the intense promotion and communication activity of basic, preclinical and translational research on cancer, carried out by the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR) and targeting a community of about 12.000 researchers, working in over 100 countries.
