Descripción: IGC. Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência «We are interested in several aspects of vascular biology, namely the role and regulation of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and its receptors in normalcy and in disease. Our focused research areas are: 1) Endothelial cell biology and the molecular basis of endothelial differentiation; 2) VEGF/VEGF receptor in haematological tumors (leukemias); 3) the mechanisms of VEGF receptor signalling on endothelial and malignant cells; 4) the interaction between bone marrow vasculogenesis and hematopoietic differentiation.»
