This project collects and explores the conclusions reached by Aznar Benitah in 2016, published in\u00a0Nature, on the relationship between\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irbbarcelona.org\/en\/news\/tumour-cells-are-dependent-on-fat-to-start-metastasis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the onset of metastasis and the intake of fats<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong><span style=\"font-size:16px\">An ambitious project ahead<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aznar Benitah and his group will combine state-of-the-art\u00a0in vivo\u00a0functional models of metastasis with quantitative metabolomics, proteomics, and epigenetics, among others, as well as integrated computational analyses, using preclinical models and patient-derived carcinomas of melanoma, oral cancer and breast cancer. This research will allow them to study metastasis and the systemic, cellular, and molecular mechanisms underlying this process.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re very excited about the opportunity that the European Union has given us. We know that it\u2019s an ambitious project that can provide very interesting data on metastasis, which we will be able to apply in diverse studies.
