To deepen his training, he stayed in the Netherlands (New Drug Development Office, Free University, Amsterdam) and in San Antonio, USA (Institute for Drug Development, under the direction of Professor D. Von Hoff). He focused on the clinical development of new anticancer agents in solid tumors. Back from the USA at the beginning of 1994, Doctor Awada became Assistant Head of Medical Oncology Clinic, and Head of the New Drugs Development Unit at Jules Bordet Institute, Brussels. Since April 2005, he is the Head of the Medical Oncology at Jules Bordet Cancer Institute. In addition and from 1st March 2011, Dr. Awada was hold Associate Head of Medicine Department. He has an important clinical activity in the treatment of solid tumors. Doctor Awada took an active part in the development of new anticancer drugs in solid tumors, some of them already widely used. Thanks to the progress in technology and computer sciences, and consequently in molecular biology, we can understand better now the biology of cancer. Many drugs are now studied to block this process. Those are the molecular-targeted therapies, a subject studied extensively in clinical research by Doctor Awada and were the basis for this thesis obtained from the ULB, Brussels, in 2004. The aim of Doctor Awada, as far as research is concerned, is to look for new active anticancer drugs in solid tumors (new cytotoxics and molecular targeted therapies), and to individualize the treatments of cancer patients.

Dr. Ivana L. de la Serna is an Associate Professor at the University of Toledo College Of Medicine and Life Sciences, Department of Biochemistry and Cancer Biology. Her research interests: In eukaryotes, DNA is packaged into chromatin, the basic unit of which is the nucleosome. SWI or SNF enzymes are multiprotein complexes that alter chromatin structure in an ATP dependent manner and are involved in the regulation of gene expression. Components of the SWI or SNF complex are essential for mouse development and play important roles in several human cancers. To better understand the mechanisms by which SWI or SNF activity regulates cellular differentiation and how this activity is perturbed in human cancers, Dr. de la Serna's lab has focused on SWI or SNF function in differentiating melanocyte precursors and in melanoma. She also works on projects that investigate SWI or SNF function during muscle differentiation and in rhabdomyoscarcoma. Regulation of melanocyte differentiation by SWI or SNF enzymes: Melanocytes are cells derived from the neural crest that migrate to the skin and provide protection against damage from ultraviolet light by synthesizing the pigment, melanin. Melanocyte precursors isolated from newborn mouse skin are pleuripotent. Dr. de la Serna is currently investigating the mechanisms by which SWI or SNF enzymes regulate transcription factor function and interact with other chromatin remodeling enzymes to promote differentiation of precursor cells along the glial or melanocyte lineages. These studies will have implications for utilizing skin cells in regenerative medicine and for developing strategies for skin cancer prevention.
