**About the project**:
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most challenging cancers to treat, largely due to its dense fibrotic environment, which hinders the efficacy of conventional therapies. This collaborative project, conducted in partnership with the biopharmaceutical company iOnctura, focuses on exploring the biological mechanisms underlying the interaction between cancer cells and the tumor stroma. Central to the research is the first anti-fibrotic drug used in oncology currently in Phase I clinical trials in pancreatic cancer, with the goal of deepen our understanding of its effects and improving its therapeutic potential.
