Short description

The IFOM Foundation is a highly technological, non-profit research centre. The research conducted at IFOM aims to understand the molecular processes responsible for the onset and development of cancer. IFOM was established in 1998 by FIRC (the Italian Foundation for Cancer Research). The aim was to create a research environment where scientists from the major National scientific institutions in the Milan area (European Institute of Oncology, National Institute for Cancer Research, Mario Negri Pharmacological Research Institute, San Raffaele Biomedical Sciences Park, University of Milan) could collaborate and pool their organisational, economical and cultural resources, in order to meet the demands of modern-day science.

    Between ALS and cancer: perhaps a link in a protein

    Senataxin, a protein involved in two major hereditary neurodegenerative diseases, including a form of ALS, is now back in the spotlight for its novel role as guardian of genome stability, revealing an interesting parallel between tumours and neurodegenerative diseases. The study, conducted ... more

    DNA: in telomeres lesions of time are inevitable

    A study conducted at IFOM in Milan has revealed that there are regions of the genome that are completely undefended. They are the telomeres, or extremities of the chromosomes that, by shortening with each cellular proliferation cycle, mark the inexorable passage of time and lead to cellular ... more

    Chromosomal acrobatics help protect against cancer

    Scientists at IFOM have used an experimental approach to create a three-dimensional view of the process that helps to protect DNA stability and defend us against spontaneous cancer-causing mutations. The discovery, published in Cell advances theunderstanding of the molecular basis of cancer ... more
