Hello everyone 👋 Welcome to our new series #MeetTheLabMembers! We're thrilled to share with you who we are and what we do in our research lab. Join us on this journey to get to know our talented team!
👨🎓📄 3rd PhD from my #sarcoma lab at @VHIO
Congratulations to Dr. David Gómez-Peregrina @dgomezpere
📣 Stay tuned to his terrific computational work on #GIST - sending out soon-ish!
‼️mTOR and/or PI3K inhibitors can be an effective treatment in #GIST SDH-deficient
🧬Activating mutations in the PI3K/mTOR pathway in relapsed/mts samples
💊Sustained 55-months response with everolimus
🧐We provide other insights on tumor evolution

🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨 Our latest study, "Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing in Succinate Dehydrogenase-Deficient GI Stromal Tumor Identifies Actionable Alterations in the PI3K/mTOR Pathway," highlights the potential of NGS to uncover key mutations in SDH-deficient GIST.
🤩¡Empezamos 2025 con buenas noticias!: abrimos en el @VHIO el ensayo Fase II OSTEOMYC para investigar lel inhibidor de Myc OMO-103 en pacientes con #osteosarcoma que tengan 12 años o más.
Gracias a @OSInstitute y @peptomyc por hacerlo posible

Meet Francesca! @FraEsposito2509 has joined our laboratory from Pavia, Italy, for a three-month stay. She will study the role of DNA damage in sarcomas during her time here.
Yesterday, our group leader @DrCeSarcoma was awarded a @criscancer "Program of Excellence" award. We are very happy and looking forward to continue our research in GIST and sarcomas! #SarcomaResearch
Today @carlomcicala presented the paper "Optical Genome Mapping for Comprehensive Cytogenetic Analysis of Soft-Tissue and Bone Tumors for Diagnostic Purposes" in our journal club @KU_Leuven
➖Cytotoxic therapies, like platinum-based ones, can lead to secondary tumors in children.
➖Platinum therapies induce more mutations in children's normal tissues per day than aging does, underscoring the lasting impact of cytotoxic treatments on mutational burden.
Today @jonanderaguirre presented this paper by @guixe_m and colleagues in our #JournalClub
Main conclusions:
➖ Pediatric cancers can lead to the development of second malignancies in children, and the origins of these second malignancies can vary.
6/ She loves music, so in her free time she tries to go to as many concerts as she can. She also enjoys reading, movies, theater and above all, traveling.

5/ When asked about her motivations to continue contributing to the field, she expressed that her primary drive in the realm of oncology clinical trials is to assist those in greatest need and contribute significantly to cancer research.
