Molecular Oncology
Several teams are involved in examining either the basic aspects of the regulations of cellular functions or the phenotypic alterations characterizing various cancer types, including thyroid cancers, melanoma, and colorectal cancers. These studies include DNA replication, transcription and repair, mitosis, apoptosis, signal transduction. Our research projects are also aimed at identifying new targets and cognate active molecules, able to interfere with neoplastic processes.
