However, there is a paradigm shift in cancer research that considers tumors as abnormal organs, thereby acknowledging the key contribution to tumor progression provided by fibroblasts and other non-cancerous stromal cells that shape the tumor mechanical and biochemical ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Our group pioneered the study of tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAFs) in lung cancer in Spain in collaboration with oncologists at the Hospital Cl\u00ednic. I will provide an overview of our efforts in unveiling how TAFs contribute to tumor progression in major lung cancer subtypes and in identifying how can we target such contributions with new therapeutic strategies, including the development of novel preclinical models. Moreover, I will describe our efforts to define novel TAF-related prognostic and\/or diagnostic biomarkers. Part of this work is carried out in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies. I will also briefly summarize ongoing collaborations with IBEC groups in these topics.<\/p>\n<p>This seminar will take place online at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/global.gotomeeting.com\/join\/688174949\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GoToMeeting platform<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Know more about Jordi Alcaraz\u2019s research <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ub.edu\/biofisica\/jalcaraz.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"ssba-classic-2 ssba ssbp-wrap left ssbp--theme-1\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improving lung cancer management by reengineering tumor-associated fibroblasts Jordi Alcaraz, UB facultat de Medicina &amp; IBEC Associated Researcher Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death due in part &#8230; <a title=\"Online IBEC Seminar: Jordi Alcaraz\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/ibecbarcelona.eu\/ca\/event\/online-ibec-seminar-jordi-alcaraz\/\" aria-label=\"More on Online IBEC Seminar: Jordi Alcaraz\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[354],"class_list":["post-80730","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tribe_events_cat-ibec-seminar-ca","cat_ibec-seminar-ca"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Online IBEC Seminar: Jordi Alcaraz - Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ibecbarcelona.eu\/ca\/event\/online-ibec-seminar-jordi-alcaraz\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"ca_ES\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Online IBEC Seminar: Jordi Alcaraz - Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Improving lung cancer management by reengineering tumor-associated fibroblasts Jordi Alcaraz, UB facultat de Medicina &amp; IBEC Associated Researcher Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death due in part ...
