The "CORRADO E BRUNO MARIA ZAINI" FOUNDATION and FATRO support various projects with the Veronesi Foundation, amongst which:

  • GENOME REMODELLING IN LUMINAL B AND DUCTAL TRIPLE NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER METASTASIS AND XENOGRAFT: TARGETING DRIVER PATHWAYS TO OVERCOME RESISTANCE
Whilst being a well-defined tumor, breast cancer can originate from different types of mutation in the regulation of the cycle. Therefore, knowing the disparate genetic profiles of breast cancer is a fundamental strategy for a targeted choice of the treatments the patient should undergo. 
The discovery of new fundamental genes at the onset of the disease and mutations that cause resistance to conventional therapies may pave the way for the evolution of new, increasingly targeted drugs.
The research project aims to identify the genetic mutations involved, through both new sequencing techniques and using RNA interference. Special attention will be paid to the identification of those mutations which cause resistance to standard treatments to develop new drugs.

  • GOLD FOR KIDS
This project is devoted to children and adolescents to support the best treatments in pediatric oncology and disseminate information on infant and adolescent tumors.
The "Gold for Kids" project is aimed at supporting innovative protocols for the treatment of important pediatric oncological diseases.

The project has been developed jointly with AIEOP (The Italian Association of Pediatric Haematology and Oncology).

  •  MEDULLOBLASTOMA METASTATICO
​The latest project adopted is: "A protocol for metastatic medulloblastoma, with residual post-surgical disease and high biological risk, called high-risk medulloblastoma".
