The Research Unit pursues studies on cancer prevention, the identification of novel biomarkers and the role of discrete molecules in the control of tumour formation and progression, with specific emphasis on prostate cancer.
cellular tumour biology and immunotherapy
Department of Life Sciences
University of Parma
Parco Area delle Scienze, 11/A
43124 Parma
The Research Unit focuses its activities on the identification of novel biomarkers, the elucidation of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tumour progression, with specific emphasis on metastasis formation and the design and pre-clinical testing of novel therapeutic agents. Cancer types of interest include, melanoma, soft-tissue sarcomas, breast and colon carcinomas, brain malignancies and head and neck tumours.
