Over the last years, the main interests of my laboratory have been focused on understanding the role of genetic variants in modulating susceptibility to cancer, cancer-related complications and autoimmune diseases. My group is also aimed at analyzing the interaction of particular genetic variants with life-style and environmental factors as well as the functional characterization of genetic factors contributing to drug resistance and disease progression.
