Oncology Research
(5/5) - 1 reviews
University of Torino, Italy
Main Areas of Interest
Research lines
The main research areas of our group are:
- molecular basis of onset and reversion of chemoresistance in human tumors;
- molecular basis of onset and reversion of immune-resistance/immune-evasion in human tumors
- synthesis and validation of new combinatorial antitumor therapies (e.g. multitarget drugs; nanoparticles-based chemotherapy; chemo-immunotherapy approaches).
Techniques You Will Learn
Experimental techniques
- 2D and 3D cell culture using: human and murine chemo-immunosensitive and chemo-immunoresistant tumor cells; primary tumor samples (mesothelioma, glioblastoma, leukemias); primary culture of tumor stem cells
- cell culture and transformation (gene silencing, gene: overexpression)
- cell co-culture models: brain-blood barrier/glioblastoma cells; peripheral blood mononuclear cells/tumor cells
- cell viability/toxicity assays (necrosis, apoptosis, cell cycle analysis, DNA genotoxicity, autophagy, senescence)
- cell metabolism assays (enzymatic activity by spectrofluorimetric and chemiluminescencse-based assays; metabolic radiolabeling)
- chromatography (thin layer chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography)
- immunoblotting, co-immunoprecipitation
- cell subfractioning, plasma-membrane isolation proteins
- qualitative and quantitative PCR; PCR-arrays
- chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)
- ELISA
- flow cytometry
- fluorescence and confocal microscope
- immunohistochemistry
- immunological assays: tumor cell phagocytosis, anti-tumor lymphocyte T expansion and activity, immune-phenotyping of immune cells and tumor cells (flow cytometry/ELISA)
- oncological mouse models: immunocompetent mouse models of breast cancer, lung cancer, osteosarcoma, pleural mesothelioma; mice handling, tumor monitoring, drug administration, ex vivo immune system activity of murine models.

Reviews From Previous Fellows
- I had a wonderful experience at the University of Torino, Torino, Italy. My advisor, Dr. Chiara Riganti was very supportive and gave me a wonderful learning experience in her department. I acquired theoretical background, know-how, and technical abilities in cell culture techniques and cell cytotoxicity/viability assays, and also I managed to set the basis of future scientific collaborations on cancer biology between our institutions. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
- Prof. Chiara Riganti is a great Mentor, who shares all her knowledge and experience with me. She trains me in the in vitro methods I am interested in, provides detailed descriptions of each technique, discusses future grant projects, and perfectly organized the training time.
- My experience so far is going great. Prof. Riganti is very understanding and welcoming! The group I am working with is very nice and I am learning a lot! So far, I am very happy with the training.

Featured Reviews
It was a great experience with Prof. Chiara Rignati, Torino University. She personally took interest to make sure I gained from the 2 weeks' experience at her lab. The facilities are outstanding, and the ways were friendly. She was easily accessible throughout the training perdiod, despite her busy schedule. I only wish I could have spent more time, so that I could benefit more.
