Objective
The ultimate goal of my research is to elucidate pathways involved in lung neuroendocrine tumor (LNET) formation. LNETs arise from a rare lung cell population, called pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNECs) and account for 20- to 25% of all lung cancers. Despite their involvement in LNETs and a number of other respiratory diseases, relatively little is known about the normal function of PNECs or their contribution to cancer development and progression. Utilizing a novel organoid based strategy for in vitro isolation and analysis of PNECs, I will develop a model of LNE tumorigenesis with a focus on two LNET subtypes, small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and atypical carcinoids (AC). Altogether, the experiments outlined in this proposal are focused on the functional characterization of PNECs and the elucidation of the pathways involved in the transformation of this cell type during LNET formation.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
