2020/11 - 2020/12 | "Therapeutic relevance of the tumor suppressor gene SPINT2 in Melanoma"
Supervisor of Beatriz Peixoto (Laboratory Rotation-Master student)
Beatriz Peixoto laboratory rotation was supervised by me and Dr. Marta Viana-Pereira. Genetically modulated melanoma cell
lines (SPINT2 overexpression) were used to evaluate SPINT2 therapeutic influence. 2D and 3D cell culture models and specific
functional studies with these models were taught to the student (wound-healing assay, tumor spheroid-based migration assay
on matrix protein and tumor spheroid growt

2020/07/14 - 2020/07/14 | Drug attrition rates from high throughput screening 2D models have instigated the need for more relevant and clinically predictive
models.
Researchers have been using a variety of 3D techniques/ models and explore the impact on their research. The real question
is can these assays bridge the gap between the convenience of conventional 2D models and the biological relevance of animal
models and produce assays that are truly fit for purpose?
