Skills and interests
ncRNAs compartmentalization, extracellular vesicles structure and function (see pub 1, 2, 4, 5, 8) ncRNAs function and RNA-based translational applications (see pub 3, 6, 7)
Proteomic approach for RNA-protein interaction detection (see pub. 2)
From the beginning of 2021 the main focus of the research is on epitranscriptomics: on the basis of previous results (see pub. 7) we are dissecting the functional effects of specific RNA modifications on lncRNA impacting cancer progression.
