Pittini Perez, Álvaro Gustavo

Research interests

Research lines in which I participate:
• Incorporation of new technological resources to improve assistance in Personalized Oncology Medicine, development of PDX models.
• Development of cancer immunotherapy using Trypanosoma cruzi molecules.
• Development of new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic and lung cancer: molecular imaging with carcinoma-specific antibodies and novel oncolytic viruses with potential clinical applications.
• Evaluation of the antitumor activity of new targeted chemotherapeutic agent constructs in pancreatic cancer, using a specific antibody.
• Application of genetic engineering to enhance the anti-tumor activity of a cancer-specific antibody.

Working area

My research focuses on the study and development of new therapies and diagnostic methods against cancer. In particular, my approach centers on studying the immune response to cancer and developing new technological tools that can be used in therapy or diagnosis.
