Revealing essential roles of the Tumor microenvironment in cancer progression, this volume focuses on Non-Hematopoietic Cells within the Tumor microenvironment.
In 2018, Alexander was elected affiliate member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.
His research is funded by the Serrapilheira Institute, CNPq, CAPES, and FAPEMIG.
His group explores the roles of specific cell populations in the tissue microenvironment by using state-of-the-art techniques.
His laboratory is interested in understanding how the cellular components of different tissues function and control disease progression.
In 2016, he was appointed faculty at Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil, where he started his own lab.
Then, he joined as a posdoc in Stem Cell Biology at Paul Frenette\'s laboratory at Albert Einstein School of Medicine.
He moved to North Carolina, where he finished his Ph D in Neuroscience under the mentorship of Osvaldo Delbono.
About the Author Alexander Birbrair received his Bachelor\'s Biomedical degree from Santa Cruz State University in Brazil.
All of the chapter authors are renowned international experts in the cancer biology field in specific subfields that will be the focus of their chapters.
Useful for introducing the newer generation of researchers to the history of how scientists focused in the Tumor microenvironment and how this knowledge is currently applied for cancer treatments, it will be essential reading for advanced cell biology and cancer biology students as well as researchers seeking an update on research in the Tumor microenvironment.
Taken alongside its companion volumes, Tumor Microenvironment: Non-Hematopoietic Cells updates us on what we know about the different aspects of the Tumor microenvironment as well as future directions.
Topics include fibroblasts, adipocytes, mesenchymal stem cells, stellate cells, and more.
Further, it teaches readers about the roles of distinct constituents of the Tumor microenvironment and how they affect cancer development.
