CONTRIBUTO SCIENTIFICO

La sua produzione scientifica conta ad oggi 75 manoscritti originali su riviste internazionali peer-reviewed, H-index=30 (fonte Scopus)

INTERESSE SCIENCENTIFICO

Il suo interesse scientifico si concentra sullo studio del microambiente tumorale. In particolare, sulle interazioni tra cellule non tumorali, quali fibroblasti e cellule endoteliali, e cellule tumorali al fine di comprendere meglio i meccanismi molecolari alla base della tumorigenesi, della crescita e della progressione tumorale
