Mac4Me, a European project on metastasis, kicks off: Alessandra Bonfanti among the researchers involved

The European project Mac4Me – Macrophage Targets for Metastatic Treatment, funded by Horizon Europe – MSCA Doctoral Network, has officially started with its kick-off meeting in Rotterdam on June 25–26, 2025.

The four-year initiative aims to develop new strategies to better understand and treat cancer metastasis, with a particular focus on neuroblastoma, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. In the days leading up to the meeting, the first training session for doctoral candidates was held, addressing clinical, biological, and ethical aspects, with a strong emphasis on direct patient involvement.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICA) at Politecnico di Milano is part of the network with researcher Alessandra Bonfanti, who will contribute to the development of research and training activities.

Mac4Me is coordinated by the Erasmus University Medical Center and brings together 14 partners and 11 associated members, including universities, companies, and patient associations from across Europe, the United States, and Australia.
