CANTEST-3D is a 1-year project financed by the Malta Council for Science and Technology TDP LITE programme.
The project, which is now nearing completion, is aiming to develop cultures of a variety of particular cell types, known as 3D spheroids, that mimic more closely the growth of cancer tumours and to then study the growth, proliferation and invasive properties of the spheroid cells in the presence of various cancer treatments. The study is also exploring the mechanisms by which these processes occur at the molecular level, with a focus on the proteins that form on these cells.
CANTEST-3D is led by Prof. Marion Zammit Mangion and research officer Mr David Tovar.
Further information about the CANTEST-3D project can be obtained from Prof. Marion Zammit Mangion on email. CANTEST-3D (R&I-2022-008L) is funded by the Malta Council for Science and Technology Technology Development Programme LITE within the FUSION progamme.
