Cristina Scielzo, Ph.D, Group Leader of the Malignant B cells biology and 3D modelling Unit in the Division of Experimental Oncology, IRCCS Hospital San Raffaele Milan, Italy. My team is studying the leukemia/microenvironment interactions with particular focus on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) cells. We are unravelling CLL cells cytoskeletal activity mediated by HS1 protein and its link to the cellular mechanical properties. In parallel, we are developing new advanced 3D in vitro co-culture systems by prototyping a bench-top 3D bio-printer and dynamic growth in bioreactors to recapitulate in vitro a proper lymphoid microenvironment to study leukemia biology and physiological response to drugs.
