Cancer biochemistry

The BioMetLab focuses on studying the biochemical, inflammatory, metabolic and elemental pathways involved in breast cancer, colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer.
Our research aims to deepen the understanding of signaling pathways involved in tumor pathogenesis and development, with the goal of identifying new biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis in both tissues and biological fluids.
Ongoing projects for 2024/2025:
