Enza Lonardo

PeerJ Editor & Reviewer

Summary

I obtained my Bachelor in 2003 in Plant Biotechnology at University of Naples Federico II under the supervision of Dr. Roberto Defez at IGB.

In 2008, I obtained my PhD at University of Naples Federico II under the supervision of Dr. Gabriella Minchiotti at IGB working on Cripto signaling in embryonic stem cells.

In 2009 I moved to Madrid where I started my first postdoc in Christopher Heeschen lab at CNIO where I was working on TGF-beta in pancreatic cancer.

In 2012 I moved to Barcelona at IRB as Senior Postdoc in Eduard Batlle lab working on TGF-beta signaling in colorectal cancer.

Since February 2017 I joined the IGB as Group Leader to study the tumor-stroma crosstalk mediated by TGF-beta in gastrointestinal cancer (pancreatic and colorectal).

Genetic alterations underlying the metastatic dissemination processes have not been identified thus far. Therefore, it is currently not possible to discriminate which patients are at higher risk of developing metastasis or to design targeted therapies to prevent this process. The main goal of my research is to increase survival of pancreatic cancer patients by exploring the contribution of the tumour microenvironment to the failure of presently available oncological treatments.
