Curriculum Vitae

Luis Antonio Marques da Costa

L. Costa’s interests in clinical research have been focus in the area of bone metastases (BM) since 1995. In a cooperative project between the Hospital de Santa Maria in Lisbon and Dr. Allan Lipton Lab at the Penn State University, USA, clinical value of type I bone collagen fragments to monitor treatment response in patients with BM was tested, showing that these are useful biochemical biomarkers of response in clinical trials testing new drugs to treat BM. L. Costa’s research group also disclosed the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in osteoclast independent mechanisms of bone degradation, and are particularly interested in testing the role of MMP-1-derived collagen fragments as growth/survival factors for cancer cells. Over the years, L. Costa has been collaborating with Prof. Rakesh Kumar, former chairman of Department of Molecular & Cellular Oncology at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, USA, in research projects focusing in breast cancer. The cooperative efforts led to the identification of the correlation between lymph node metastases and the expression of paxillin in tumors. Ongoing projects focus on triple negative breast cancer and synchronous bilateral breast cancer, as part of the Global Cancer Genomics Consortium activities. At IMM, projects ongoing aim to understand the relationship between estrogen dependence and cancer cell tropism to bone; and the role of phospholipase C family in colorectal cancer progression. Furthermore, an extensive analysis denominated oncodynamics is on going, in which liquid biopsies of breast, prostate, colorectal and melanoma cancers are being collected and different indicators are being measured such as presence of circulating tumor cells and exosomes, analysis of circulating tumor DNA and of the immune profile. In the Oncology Division at Hospital de Santa Maria L. Costa is deeply involved in clinical research. In the last two years L. Costa was the PI in 17 clinical trials in breast cancer and bone metastases.
