May 2015, August 2017
Recipient: Institute of Molecular Pathology and Immunology of the University of Porto, Portugal (IPATIMUP)
Project: Today’s present, tomorrow’s future on the study of germline E-cadherin missense mutations.
When an individual is tested for a gene mutation relating to stomach cancer, the results are not always conclusive. The Institute provides a service that further analyzes these tests to obtain a more definitive answer regarding germline E - cadherin gene mutations. No Stomach For Cancer has provided funding for this vital project since 2015 - helping these individuals to receive more accurate testing results to make the best choices for their future.
Principal Investigators: Raquel Seruca MD Ph.D., IPATIMUP, Joana Peredes Ph.D., IPATIMUP, and Joao Sanches Ph.D., Institute for Systems and Robotics, LARSys, Instituto Superior Tecnico, University of Lisbon, Portugal
Funding: $60,000
