Dr Giulia Biffi
Grant made in 2021 Award RoundDr Biffi’s research targets non-cancerous cells that make up to 90% of each pancreatic cancer tumour. Some of these cells, called fibroblasts, help the cancer to grow and be resistant to chemotherapy. Dr Biffi’s new project will try and determine the different ways that various groups of fibroblasts contribute to the growth of pancreatic cancer. She will also look for ways to block them, and to make other therapies more effective.
