Translational Oncobiology: From Molecular Mechanisms to Targeted Therapies

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue in the journal Cells, entitled “Translational Oncology: From Molecular Mechanisms to Targeted Therapies.” In this Special Issue, we plan to demonstrate how science is close to patients in some of the most representative fields of oncology. Indeed, since the definition of the hallmarks of cancer by Douglas Hanahan and Robert Weinberg (Cell. 2011 Mar 4;144(5):646-74), a setting of discoveries confirmed how relevant they can be in the development of cancer treatments from bench to bedside. In this Special Issue, we intend to assemble contributions on translational medicine applied to cancer patients. Additionally, we will address the future contribution of computational biology and nanomedicine to oncology.

We are looking forward to your contributions to this Special Issue.

Dr. Luis Costa
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form.
