Riccardo Di Fiore

I obtained both degree in Biological Science and Ph.D. in Experimental Oncobiology at University of Palermo. My research is focused on: cytotoxic effects of drugs (alone and in combination) on cancer cells; characterization of gain-of-function mut-p53 forms; role of microRNAs in maintaining the stemness properties and tumorigenicity of CSCs in osteosarcoma and breast cancer cells. Currently, my research is focused on molecular characterization of rare gynecological cancers.
