Keynote Talk by Prof. Subhas C. Kundu, I3Bs – University of Minho, Portugal
Cancer
research is entering a new era of innovation — one where 3D biomaterial-based models are
transforming how scientists study tumors and test therapies. At the International
Conference on Cancer Science and Research,
Prof. Subhas C. Kundu
will present his groundbreaking work on “3D
in vitro cancer models using natural biomaterials for studying the cancer
microenvironment and drug screening.”
🔬 The Future
of Cancer Modeling
Traditional
2D cell cultures often fail to replicate the real behavior of tumors inside the
body. Prof. Kundu’s work focuses on three-dimensional biomaterials
that recreate the structural and biological complexity of real tumor tissues.
These 3D models provide a more physiologically
relevant environment for exploring how cancer cells grow, invade,
and respond to treatments.
🌱 Innovative
Use of Natural Biomaterials
In
this keynote, Prof. Kundu highlights the power of natural
polymers such as:
·
Collagen
·
Hyaluronic acid
·
Alginate
·
Silk
These
materials are used to create hydrogels, scaffolds, nanofibers,
and bioinks, enabling researchers to build realistic tumor microenvironments
in the lab. Among them, silk-based biomaterials
stand out for their biocompatibility,
strength, and versatility,
making them ideal for 3D cancer modeling and tissue engineering.
💊 Impact on
Drug Screening and Biomedical Research
These
3D systems not only improve the accuracy of drug testing
but also help reduce reliance on animal models,
supporting ethical and sustainable research practices. By mimicking human
tissues more closely, such models can significantly accelerate the discovery of
effective cancer therapies.
