Talk abstract
In this seminar I will explain my PhD research in Dr. Eduard Batlle’s lab at IRB Barcelona. By studying tumor heterogeneity, we uncovered the elusive identity and features of residual tumor cells that regenerate metastatic disease after curative resection of colorectal cancers (CRCs). In addition, we found that neoadjuvant immunotherapy is sufficient to prevent metastatic relapse in CRC; yet, this curative effect is restricted to a narrow temporal window as a result of a rapidly evolving immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. In addition, I will try to integrate early career relevant aspects that I am learning along this process that may be also valuable for other young scientists.
