**About the Editor**

#### **Laura Paleari**

I have more than twenty year experience in translational, pre-clinical and clinical cancer research and scientific/medical writing with robust skills in molecular/cellular biology, in vivo testing (including the generation ok knockout, conditional knockout and pdx murine models).

I am a member of the regional HTA Network and a consultant for the National Health Agency (Agenas). I have gained skills in pharmaco-economics and in the management of health systems.

I have served as a member of peer review panels for the major international and national research funding calls: CCM (National Center for Prevention and Disease Control); translational co-fund call of ERACoSysMed, ERANET on System Medicine under Horizon2020; MINDED programme (7th Framework programme, Marie Curie Actions). I am the Author of 70+ scientific papers, being the first/last author/corresponding of the majority.
