Research focus

• Epigenetic regulation in solid tumors: chromatin remodeling, transcriptional control, and epigenetic alterations in tumor development and progression. Identification of dysregulated molecular pathways that sustain cancer cell survival and aggressiveness to uncover novel therapeutic targets, with a specific emphasis on epigenetic modifiers and chromatin-associated factors.
• Regenerative medicine, specifically the use of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and the study of the mechanisms governing stem-cell differentiation, including osteogenic differentiation, to better understand their regenerative potential to improve tissue regeneration strategies and enhance the therapeutic application of stem-cell–based approaches.

Recent research directions

• Development of advanced 3D cellular models, designed to better recapitulate the complexity of human tissues.
• Application of bioprinting technologies to generate more physiologically relevant systems for both cancer studies and regenerative medicine applications.
