“Angiogenesis as Target for Cancer Therapy and Prevention”

 

Biosketch

Adriana Albini heads the Laboratory of Molecular Biology and the 
Translational Oncology Department at the Italian National Institute for 
Research on Cancer in Genova. She is Deputy Chief of Research at the 
Institute and is past-President of the Metastasis Research Society 
(MRS). Dr. Albini has extensive experience in oncology research, 
developing and utilizing in vitro and in vivo assays for the study of 
potential inhibitors of tumor invasion and angiogenesis.  She has 230 
publications in journals with impact factor. In 1987 she established 
the matrigel invasion assay ("chemoinvasion"), the most widely used 
assay for testing the invasiveness of malignant cells and screening of 
antimetastatic drugs.  In 1994 she published an in vivo model for 
Kaposi's sarcoma which has been used for pharmacological studies. She 
is an expert of the HIV-Tat protein and has recently developed the 
concept of "angioprevention", the "chemoprevention" in 
anti-angiogenesis. Today's seminar will deal with the mechanisms of 
angiogenesis, the therapeutic use of anti-angiogenic agents and the new 
perspective of angiogenesis as a target of chemoprevention and 
compounds of natural origin.
