About

Ana Preto is an Assistant Professor at the University of Minho in Portugal. Her research primarily focuses on cancer therapy, exploring the roles of various compounds and mechanisms in treating different types of cancer, particularly colorectal cancer and acute myeloid leukemia. Recent publications include significant studies on 3-Bromopyruvate's effects in chemotherapy and the modulation of the tumor microenvironment by microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids.
