WELCOME
The Institute of Functional Genomics (IGF) is a multidisciplinary research centre which is developing a project focused on the functional genomics of physiological and pathological cellular communications in the fields of neurobiology, endocrinology, oncology and cardiology.
This project is based on a multi-scale strategy from 'molecule to systems' and combines structural, biochemical, genetic, epigenetic, omics, physiological and behavioural studies. A major effort is paid to the development of single-cell studies through multiple dimensions and multi-omic approaches, that are necessary to address the complexity of life.
The project of IGF is increasingly based on translational research, promoted by the recruitment of teams of clinicians from different fields (neurovascular, diabetology, neuro-oncology and psychiatry). The objective is to identify new mechanisms and concepts in the field of cellular communications, in order to develop new therapeutic strategies and diagnostic tools.

CANCER CELL DORMANCY INDUCTION SUPPRESSES METASTASIS DEVELOPMENT
Pr Julio A. Aguirre-Ghiso
Tish Cancer Institute, Ny, USA / Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai
Julio A. Aguirre-Ghiso, PhD, is an Endowed Mount Sinai Professor of Cancer Biology and co-Leader of the Cancer Mechanisms Program at The Tisch Cancer Institute, and Director of Head and Neck Cancer Basic Research in the Department of Otolaryngology. He is also a member of the Precision Immunology Institute and the Black Family Stem Cell Institute, both at Mount Sinai. He also serves as President Elect of the Metastasis Research Society. His work focuses on understanding the biology of residual cancer cells that persist in a dormant state after initial therapy. His research team led, along with others, a paradigm shift, revealing novel cancer biology that diverges from the notion that cancer is perpetually proliferating. His team discovered that reciprocal crosstalk between disseminated tumor cells and the microenvironment regulates the inter-conversion between dormancy and proliferation of metastasis.
