Ramon Garcia-Escudero,  PhD

I am biologist, with MSc and PhD in Molecular Biology from the Autonoma University in Madrid, Spain. I have a long time experience in molecular and cellular biology in animal and human viruses, and cancer genomics. Working places include Center for Molecular Biology "Severo Ochoa" (CBMSO) in Spain, Cancer Research UK (CRUK) in UK, and the Institute of Oncology Research (IOR) in Switzerland. Currently, I'm working at CIEMAT and Hospital 12 Octubre (Madrid, Spain) focused in Head and Neck Cancer basic, traslational and clinical research. Main interests are i) generation and validation of new disease models including transgenic mice; ii) development of new anticancer therapies, targeting both tumor and stroma cells; and ii) new diagnostic tools using liquid biopsy. I have particular interest in individuals with Fanconi anemia, who display an exacerbated risk of Head and Neck Cancer.
