"The main goal of my research is to contribute to the better understanding of the functions of non-coding RNAs in lung cancer progression and explore how cancer cells hijack non-coding RNA expression to maintain their malignant phenotype. This should bring to the identification of cancer vulnerabilities that will be targeted with novel pharmacological approaches to produce a less toxic and long-lasting response in patients." |
