On October 1st 2019, Adriana Sánchez-Danés formally began her position as ERA Chair holder at Champalimaud Research. 

As ERA Chair, Adriana Sánchez-Danés will drive an ambitious frontier project that will tackle the fate of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. She will combine genetic mouse models, tumor organoids, mathematical modeling, imaging techniques and quantitative analysis to uncover the mechanisms involved in tumor progression, resistance and relapse. As such, her research program will bridge and transform the three main operations at CCU i.e. neurosciences (“CNP”), physiology and cancer (“BSM”) and clinical research. 

Adriana is currently recruiting her research team - all opportunities can be found on the Team page, on the institutional Careers website and on EURAXESS. 

On 1st October 2018 QuantOCancer project officially launched at Champalimaud Foundation. 

Since then we have focussed on the recruitment of key team members, elaborating the work plan and setting the wheels in motion for several institutional development initiatives. 

Our next crucial step will be the successful recruitment of a fantastic ERA Chair holder - more news soon!
