In this video, Valentina Tonelotto shares her fascinating research journey, where she has identified a potential treatment for metastatic uveal melanoma, a rare and aggressive form of eye cancer. The compound 1,4-dihydroxy quininib has shown great promise by selectively inducing the death of uveal melanoma cancer cells in vitro. 🔬
Valentina also offers a personal glimpse into her experience at the UCD Conway Institute, University College Dublin , which attracted her for its collaborative spirit and strong connections between academia and industry. She explains how a researcher in academia must not only be a scientist but also a manager, with a 360-degree view of innovation. 🌍
