My current research interests are: 1) The molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis with a special interest in the biology of soft tissue sarcomas, ovarian cancer and lung cancer. 2) The involvement of microRNAs and other non coding RNAs in the development and maintenance of cancer. 3) The use of diagnostic/prognostic and predictive biomarkers in cancer. 4) Novel drug targets and treatment strategies for cancer. 5) The biology and function of the vault complex, a ribonucleoprotein particle in a.o. mammalian cells.
