Conferencia del Dr. Alexandre Calon, Investigador Principal del laboratorio de «Investigación Traslacional en Microambiente Tumoral» del Instituto de Investigación del Hospital del Mar de Barcelona.
Dr. Alexandre Calon is the director of the Translational Research in Tumor Microenvironment laboratory (TReaTMe lab) at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute (IMIM, Barcelona, Spain). Dr. Calon’s research focuses on the influence of the tumor microenvironment on treatment adaptation/resistance and metastatic spread of colorectal and breast cancer.
He is heading translational studies in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies in Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and the United States, and participates in the development of clinical diagnostic and companion tools for precision oncology. His projects, which are being developed in partnership with clinicians, physicists, biologists, and chemists, cover the study of cancer-associated fibroblasts (Calon et al., Cancer Cell 2012, Nature Genetics 2015; Linares et al., Nature Communications 2023), therapy-driven immune regulation (Tauriello et al, Nature 2018; Rivas, Linares et al., Nature Communications 2022) and the development of novel therapeutic strategies (Lo Re et al., Chemical Communications 2018; Linares et al., Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2023).
Dr. Calon’s research is directly linked with prospective patient studies/clinical trials and combines state of the art patient-derived organoids, primary stromal cells, ex vivo humanized immunocompetent models of cancer and in vivo models together with patient sample transcriptomics and bioimaging.
