Rafael Blasco-Patiño, PhD

I am Spanish originally from the land of Don Quixote. I graduated in the Biomedical Branch of Biology at Complutense University of Madrid in 2006. I develop my Ph. D Studies in Mariano Barbacid’s lab at the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO), obtaining my degree from Autonoma University of Madrid in 2011. During this period I was focused in the role of the Erk-Mapk pathway in K-Ras driven lung tumorigenesis. I joined Chiarle’s Lab in 2012 interested in how the immune system can implement current therapies against lung cancer. I love play soccer (worldwide known as football) and I am enthusiastic supporter of the Spanish National Team and At. Madrid. I also like to travel, especially to historical places, because History is another of my big interest.
