To Dr. Ana Racca from CIQUIBIC
The Dr. Ana Racca It was awarded the prize JBC/Herbert Tabor Young Investigator Awards awarded by the prestigious Journal of Biological Chemistry. Dr.. Racca was deserving of this award for her oral presentation “Cytoplasmic Fra‐1 and c‐Fos: potential targets for specific breast cancer therapy” presented at the conference “56th International Conference on the Bioscience of Lipids, ICBL”, held in the city of Puerto Iguazu, of 22 to 26 September this year.
Dr.. Racca makes a postdoctoral stay at the CIQUIBIC under the direction of the Dr. Beatriz Caputto, in the subject “Regulating mechanism phospholipid synthesis by c-Fos and Fra-1. Implications for cellular proliferation and growth of breast tumors”. During the ICBL presented their work on the mechanisms by which proteins c-Fos and Fra-1 sustain malignant mammary tumor cell proliferation in mediating the increase in speed of membrane biogenesis.
During the meeting, two other members of our group and members of the Center Dr.. Caputto, They were honored for their work. The Dr. César Prucca He received one of the two awards granted to the best standard presentation poster for his work “N-terminal portion of C-Fos as a negative dominant of the phospholipids synthesis activation: a new target for glioblastomas”, while the Lic. Lucia Rodriguez It was worthy of a special mention for its presentation "c-Fos Regulates formation in neurons branching".
Dr. Ana Racca was awarded with the JBC / Herbert Tabor Young Investigator Award, granted by the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Dr Racca was honored with this distinction for her oral presentation “Cytoplasmic Fra-1 and c-Fos: potential targets for specific breast cancer therapy” at the 56th International Conference on the Bioscience of Lipids (ICBL), held in the city of Puerto Iguazú, 22-26 September, 2015.
Dr. Racca is doing a postdoctoral stay at CIQUIBIC under the supervision of Dr. Beatriz Caputto, on the subject “Mechanism of regulation of phospholipid synthesis by c-Fos and Fra-1. Implications for cell proliferation and growth breast tumors. ” At ICBL, she showed how c-Fos and Fra-1 sustain malignant cell proliferation by increasing the rate of membrane biogenesis in breast tumors.
Two other members of our Centre, and also members of Dr. Caputto’s group, were awarded for their communications at ICBL. Dr. César Prucca received one of the two awards given to the best poster presentation for his work “N-terminal portion of C-Fos as a negative dominant of the phospholipids synthesis activation: a new target for glioblastomas”, whereas the PhD student Lucia Rodriguez received a special mention for her presentation “c-Fos regulates branching formation in neurons”.
