Keywords: Cancer, Angiogenesis.
Research Group 3
- Conigliaro Alice
- Alessandro Riccardo
- Corrado Chiara
- Barreca Maria Magdalena
- Zichitella Chiara
Research Themes: Molecular mechanisms through which the hypoxia-induced non-coding RNAs participate in sustaining hypoxic responses: molecular and phenotypic changes that allow cells to survive in response to a reduction in oxygen partial pressure.
Keywords: hypoxia, non-coding RNAs, lncH19.
Research Group 4
- Raimondo Stefania
- Alessandro Riccardo
- Conigliaro Alice

Research Themes: Study of molecular mechanisms through which small extracellular vesicle released by colon cancer cells shape the pre-metastatic niche in liver affecting the structural and functional properties of hepatocytes.
keywords: small extracellular vesicles, colon cancer, pre-metastatic niche.
Research Group 6
- Fontana Simona
- Alessandro Riccardo
- Raimondo Stefania

Research Themes: Proteomic study of giant cell arteritis biopsies for the characterization of functional pathways involved in drug resistance.
Keywords: Proteomics, drug resistance pathways.
Research Group 8
- Grimaudo Stefania
- Pipitone Rosaria Maria
- Zito Rossella
Research Themes: Study of molecular mechanisms and pathways involved in: hepatic fibrogenesis, in the epithelium-mesenchyme transition, in oxidative stress as well as in the development of hepatocarcinoma in hepatopathies of viral and metabolic origin.
