The Science Museum of the University of Navarra joins the celebration of the "European Researchers' Night" next Friday, September 24th. And it does so with an online colloquium with Amaia Lujambio and Javier Carmona, two Spanish scientists living in New York. The session, degree scroll "Trayectorias paralelas, ¿destinos diferentes?", will be held at 19:30 (Spanish time) on the YouTube channel of the Science Museum.

Amaia Lujambio (Goizueta, 39 years old) and Javier Carmona (Pamplona, 37 years old) studied Biology at the School of Sciences of the University of Navarra, did their doctoral thesis at the same laboratory, and coincided at Sloan Kettering in New York during their postdoctoral programs of study . At present these two scientists develop their degree program in the field of Medicine in this city. Amaia is a professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Javier is publisher senior at the journal Nature Medicine.

The session will be moderated by Ujué Moreno, professor of department of Biochemistry and Genetics of the School of Sciences of the University of Navarra and researcher of the Cima.

The European Researchers' Night is an annual quotation in which universities and scientific institutions in more than 300 cities in Europe organize various activities to bring scientists' work closer to society.

More information about the speakers

- Amaia Lujambio. Graduated in Biology at the University of Navarra (2005), she did her doctoral thesis at the Autonomous University of Madrid, where she studied the epigenetic regulation of microRNAs in cancer, under the supervision of Dr. Manel Esteller (CNIO). She continued her programs of study in cancer in New York, at Scott Lowe's laboratory , where she specialized in the development of preclinical models for the study of mechanisms contributing to cancer. Since 2014 he has been working at laboratory at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai where he studies liver cancer. His research is funded by the National Cancer Institute and other foundations.

- Javier Carmona. He started his programs of study in Biology at the University of Navarra and graduated from the Autonomous University of Madrid in 2007. He developed his doctoral thesis at Dr. Manel Esteller's laboratory , studying epigenetic alterations in the metastasis process, and in 2013 he joined Dr. José Baselga's laboratory at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, where he investigated on mechanisms of resistance to therapies in breast cancer patients. Since 2016 she is publisher in the journal Nature Medicine where she coordinates the areas of oncology and artificial intelligence applied to medicine.
