OUR TEAM
to inquire, to research, to discover
We investigate the interplay between cellular metabolism and chromatin stability in cancer cells. Our research aims to understand the mechanisms that enable cancer cells to survive under stress, develop resistance to anticancer therapies, and adapt to changing microenvironmental conditions through cellular plasticity
