My lab is interested in dissecting the role of microRNAs and other non-coding RNAs in human carcinogenesis.
Specifically, we are interested in the role of non-coding RNAs shuttled by exosomes and other extracellular vesicles in the inter-cellular communication within the tumor microenvironment.
The goal of our research is to better understand how non-coding RNAs contribute to cancer biology and the development of resistance to chemotherapy, and how these discoveries can be exploited to identify new molecular targets and new cancer biomarkers for the treatment and early diagnosis of cancers.
