Nicolas Alcala received a grant from Worldwide Cancer Research (WCR) with collaborator Jaehee Kim from the computational biology department at Cornell University, USA (see lab website). The project will combine novel sequencing technologies and mathematical models to study how malignant pleural mesothelioma cells cooperate and compete within a tumor and determine patient’s clinical course. The project is part of the transversal project on cancer ecology and evolution and also a spin-off of the MESOMICS project. 

We thank WCR and their generous donors for their continuous support of our research and especially for funding fundamental research! Read more about the project here.
