Congratulations to Prof. Elisa Oricchio, who held an ISREC Chair in Translational Oncology from 2014 to 2020. Elisa Oricchio’s research is geared towards understanding the role of genetic and epigenetic changes in carcinogenesis, and how these changes influence patients’ responses to cancer treatments. She has developed very sophisticated methods for use in genomics and chromatin structural analysis that are of great interest to the entire school. Her work is not only of fundamental scientific significance, but also identifies potential new targets for the development of cancer treatments. This renowned researcher is a leading expert in her field as well as a popular lecturer among students.
The ISREC Foundation is proud to have helped launch the career of this brilliant researcher.
Once again, the SUR-SRP “Summer Research” program (July 5 to August 27), organized by the UNIL and the EPFL and supported by the ISREC Foundation, was a huge success. The students were thrilled to discover AGORA. We hope that this once-in-a-lifetime experience will open up new horizons for them.
The ISREC Foundation is proud to support the work of Prof. Johanna Joyce and her team, who have developed a comprehensive and integrated toolkit for a more efficient analysis of the immune landscape in brain tumor samples. These results have been published in the prestigious journal Nature.
Congratulations to Prof. Denis Migliorini, holder of the ISREC Foundation Immuno-Oncology Chair. Together with Prof. Andrea Alimonti, he has been awarded a PHRT grant, supporting exceptional technological developments.
Among other things, Prof. Lana Kandalaft tells us about what led her to cancer research, about the development of cancer vaccines and what she is most passionate about in her work. Part of her research on cancer vaccines is supported by the ISREC Foundation.
