Research Interest
Our laboratory is interested in the molecular mechanisms of cellular immortalization and transformation. We perform in vitro and in vivo analyses in order to understand the molecular and genomic alterations involved in neoplastic transformation. We study mouse models in order to examine early genomic changes during malignant transformation. Furthermore, we study the initiating events of genomic instability and its progression in cancer patients.
