The Lewis Katz School of Medicine astatine Temple University and Fox Chase Cancer Center are pleased to denote the hiring of Lucia Borriello, PhD, arsenic an adjunct prof successful the Department of Cancer and Cellular Biology astatine Temple. In summation to her superior presumption astatine Temple, Borriello volition clasp a dual assignment successful the Cancer Signaling and Microenvironment probe programme astatine Fox Chase.
Borriello’s probe focuses connected knowing however bosom and lung tumor cells that person escaped the superior tumor past successful distant organs successful a latent state—also known arsenic a dormant state—for years, and however they exit dormancy to induce metastatic relapse. She is an adept successful crab biology, metastasis, and imaging, which allows her to travel the destiny and maturation of idiosyncratic tumor cells successful surviving animals. Her probe interests besides see the relation of the tumor microenvironment and therapeutic absorption successful promoting metastasis.
Borriello earned her Bachelor of Science grade successful biotechnology from the University of Teramo successful Italy, past received a Master of Science grade successful the biotechnology of reproduction from the University of Teramo and Queen’s University of Belfast, Ireland. She past went connected to gain a doctorate from the University of Paris for studies of bosom crab biology and pharmacology.
After earning her doctorate, Borriello was a postdoctoral researcher studying the relation of the tumor microenvironment successful the Department of Hematology and Oncology astatine Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. She past completed different postdoctoral fellowship successful which she developed her expertise successful bosom crab dormancy successful the Department of Anatomy and Structural Biology astatine the Albert Einstein College of Medicine successful Bronx, New York.
In summation to being awarded respective probe grants, Borriello serves successful a fig of enactment and work roles, including arsenic ambassador to the American Society for Cell Biology. She was besides a subordinate of the Board of Directors of the Metastasis Research Society and Chair of its Young Investigators Group.
Additionally, Borriello serves connected the editorial boards of Frontiers successful Molecular Diagnostics and Therapeutics and Frontiers successful Cell Adhesion and Migration, among others, arsenic good arsenic reviewer for a fig of journals, including Cancer, Gene, and Journal of Oncology.
