Aitziber Buque

Aitziber Buqué (born 1980) is currently Post-Doctoral Fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Lorenzo Galluzzi with the Department of Radiation Oncology of the Weill Cornell Medical College (New York, NY, USA). Prior to joining the Galluzzi lab (2018), Aitziber Buqué was a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Research Team “Apoptosis, Cancer and Immunity” at the Cordeliers Research Center (Paris, France; 2014-2018), under the direction of Dr. Guido Kroemer, after receiving her PhD from the University of the Basque Country (Leioa, Spain; 2013). Aitziber Buqué is interested in the molecular, cellular and immunological mechanisms whereby breast cancer evades immunosurveillance and resists to immunotherapy, and she is the author of more than 30 scientific articles in international peer-reviewed journals.
