Contribution to science
Early Career (2003-2011)
During this period, Dr. Bottillo participated in research projects for the identification of the molecular basis of inherited and familial diseases. The research activity was also aimed to the study of somatic mutations in different tumor types and to the development of functional assays for the analysis of splicing mutations. These projects were carried out in collaboration with Italian and international research groups. As part of international collaborations, the projects carried out with the Institute for Cancer Research - Oslo University Hospital (Norway) (see Annex), have allowed both the study of the NF1 gene in patients with malignant tumors of the peripheral nerve sheath, and the mutational analysis of genetic and epigenetic alterations of the KRAS pathway in colorectal cancers.
