About the research group

Our research team, the laboratory of Rare TumorS, is part of the Hereditary Cancer Program of the Institut Catala` d’Oncologia, IDIBELL [Program Director: Gabriel Capella´/Conxi Lázaro]. The overarching goal of our lab is to gain insight into the molecular basis of hereditary rare cancer syndromes affecting children and young adults and to personalize risk assessment to patients and relatives. Our research is focused on the description of new syndromes and the identification and functional characterization of novel cancer-predisposing genes; profiling of rare tumor types and understanding how the germline background of a patient contributes to the risk of developing benign or malignant tumor types.
