The IN-1 Immunology research group is multidisciplinary (Medicine, Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacy) and is an expert in basic and applied Immunology, considered a competitive reference by the Xunta de Galicia. It began in 1996 with the incorporation of Dra. \u00c1frica Gonz\u00e1lez-Fern\u00e1ndez at the University of Vigo, creating the first and only area of Immunology in Galician universities.<\/p>\n
Since then they have been developing projects and collaborating with various researchers at national and international level in several lines: generation of monoclonal antibodies and immunotherapy, pancreatic cancer, nanomedicine and toxicity of nanomaterials, nanovaccines, as well as theoretical immunology. In pancreatic cancer they have led projects to find an effective therapy through various routes: vaccine against KRAs, use of epigenetic inhibitor drugs in combination with chemotherapy and inhibition of activation pathways such as the YAP and FOS pathways, to reduce tumor stroma. He has developed 3D models (spheroids and organoids) of cell lines and biopsies of cancer patients, in collaboration with the biobank of the \u00c1lvaro Cunqueiro Hospital in Vigo.<\/p>\n
