#### **Francisco M. Vega**

Dr Francisco M. Vega is an Associate professor in the department of Cell Biology at the University of Seville. Dr Vega is also co-leading researcher at the Instituto de Biomedicina de Sevilla. He leads the Cancer cell biology laboratory at the University, interested in exploring the contribution of cancer stem cells to cancer metastasis in solid tumors. Dr Vega developed his career as a research scientist in the fields of cellular signaling and cancer biology, working in the Center for Cancer Research in Salamanca, Spain, the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research and King's College London in United Kingdom and the Moores Cancer Center at UCSD in USA. He has produced relevant works on the mechanisms of cell proliferation, cell adhesion, motility and invasion controlled by the Rho family of GTPases, ROCK and other kinases, with the goal of gaining new insights into the cancer metastasis process in solid tumors. He is currently interested in the cellular signalling that connects cell migration and stemness in aggressive neuroblastoma and other solid tumors.
