It is the largest Cancer Center in Northern Italy, serving more than 30,000 patients per year and its research department is part of the EU-LIFE alliance, which includes 15 European leading research centers in life sciences.
The Department of Experimental Oncology at IEO currently hosts 23 independent research groups supported by 11 technological units and focusing on understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms of tumor development, dissemination and resistance to therapy. Specific research areas include chromatin and transcriptional regulation, genome integrity, control of cell cycle and division, signaling and endocytosis, tumor tissue organization and evolution, microbiome and immunity.
