Sandra Rodriguez-Perales

Sandra Rodríguez Perales is currently a head of the Molecular Cytogenetics and Genome Editing Unit at the Human Cancer Genetics Department. Spanish National Cancer Centre (CNIO), Madrid, Spain. The research activity of the Molecular Cytogenetics and Genome Editing Unit focuses on increasing the knowledge about the role of chromosomal rearrangements in cancer development and progression and the discovery of new therapeutic targets. With the combined use of CRISPR genome editing and cytogenetic technologies, they are creating in vitro models that recapitulate chromosomal, genetic, and epigenetic cancer alterations. The goal of the Unit is to develop and implement the latest technologies used in the fields of molecular cytogenetics and genome engineering. They also participate in collaborative projects with clinical and basic science investigators at the CNIO and other institutions.
