Inigo Zubiavrre Martinez


Professor in Cell Biology

Job description

Group leader for the Molecular inflammation Research Group at IKM. Over 20 years documented experience in accademia, with  track records in both teaching and research. The researcher focus of the Group is on investigating the role of the tumor stroma and fibroblasts as regulators of tumor immnunology, and  in regulating tumor responses to radiotherapy and immunotherapy.
