Awards & Grant

In 2019 Dr. Molinari was the winner of the ERA PerMEd JTC2019, as coordinator of the project entitled “InteGRAtive analysis of tuMor, Microenvironment, immunitY and patient expectation for personalized response prediction in Gastric Cancer (GRAMMY)”.

The project, starting in June 2020, has the main endpoint to determine chemotherapy response predictive biomarkers in tumor and microenvironment, analysing either tissue and liquid biopsies, as well as to determine the impact of systemic host immunity and psychological/sociological parameters on the response to chemotherapy in patients affected by locally advanced gastric cancer. This european project is in collaboration with the AUSL ROMAGNA, the Inserm (Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale) and University at Brest (France), the Leipzig University and the Department of Propaedeutic Surgery, at National & Kapodistrian University of Athens.

In 2014 she received the “Spandidos Pubblication Award” for the oral presentation “New predictive markers of response to chemo-radiotherapy in rectal cancer: miR-17-92 and methylation profile” at the “19th World Congress on Advances in Oncology and 17th International Symposium on Molecular Medicine”.

In 2011 Dr Molinari received a grant for EORTC-NCI-ASCO tutorial "From Hypothesis to Product: Diagnostic Development EORTC Tutorial” and ENASCO congress on "Molecular Markers in Cancer", October 2011, Bruxelles.
