Final Report Summary - NEUROBLASTOMA CHEMO (Chemotherapy of neuroblastoma)
Importantly, the strategic goal of Neuroblastoma Chemo was to establish a new translational research laboratory in paediatric solid tumours at Hospital Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona, the host institution, focusing on the improvement of therapy for children with solid tumours by means of preclinical studies. The project provided the basis for many other projects currently ongoing in the lab, focused in paediatric tumours such as Ewing sarcoma, retinoblastoma and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), among others. We set up a very important resource at the host institution and now have six researchers working under the research line ‘Preclinical Therapeutics and Drug Delivery Research Program’, established as a direct result of this Marie Curie action. Our current projects will lead to three clinical trials at the host institution within the next two years.
