Diversified Approaches Against Cancer And Ageing-Related Diseases​

  • Exploring how genetic, metabolic, immune and microenvironmental factors influence cancer and
    ageing-related biology and regenerative processes.​

  • Researching DNA damage response, tumour microenvironments, age-related degeneration, organ
    and tissue regeneration, and more.​

  • Partnering with clinicians to define and address the most challenging problems in cancer and
    ageing-related diseases, to improve translational outcomes.

 

Our Impact

Boosting Cancer Therapy And Regenerative Medicine​

  • We pinpointed factors and pathways promoting pathological cells’ survival, that could be targets to diagnose and treat cancer and ageing-related diseases.​

  • We uncovered how tumour microenvironments and evolution, and intercellular pH, influence cell fate decisions, cancer progression and therapy response.​

  • We led discoveries in regenerative medicine and cancer therapy by tapping on various technological platforms, including CRISPR/Cas9 screens.​
