Short CV
Héctor Peinado obtained the title of Doctor of Science in the laboratory of Dr. Amparo Cano (Institute of Biomedical Research "Alberto Sols" in 2003, describing for the first time the mechanism of repression of E-cadherin mediated by the Snail transcription factor during the transition Epithelium-Mensenchyme (TEM) His investigations in this laboratory were also crucial in determining the mechanism of regulation of Snail by Lysyl Oxidase 2 during TEM (EMBO J (2005), Nat. Rev Cancer (2007)). in this laboratory he demonstrated the regulation of the phenotype of cancer stem cells by beta-catenin during tumor progression of skin cancer (Nature (2008)).In 2008 he joined the laboratory of Dr. David Lyden, a pioneer in the analysis of the niche metastatic, at Weill Cornell Medical College, New York.His studies culminated in the publication of a reference study and pioneer in the analysis of the role of exosomes in theformation of the metastatic niche by horizontal transfer of oncogenic information between the tumor and its microenvironment (Nature Medicine. 2012.)). More recently his studies in collaboration with Dr. Lyden have contributed to the discovery of double-stranded DNA in tumor exosomes and the role of exosomes in metastatic niche formation and metastatic organotropism (Cell Research 2014, Nature Cell. Biol 2015 , Nature 2015, Nat. Rev Cancer 2017). Since January 2015 he is the Head of the Microenvironment and Metastasis Group in the Molecular Oncology Department of the National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) and hired by Ramón y Cajal. He was named 1st ASEICA young investigator award in 2015, Pfizer award 2016, Fero Fellow 2016 and WHRI-Academy Fellow in 2016. His lab currently studies the mechanisms involved in tumor-microenvironment communication by exosomes during metastatic progression and possible use of exosomes as biomarkers of metastatic risk.
