OUR TEAM
to inquire, to research, to discover
We investigate the interplay between metabolism and chromatin stability of cancer cells. We try to understand what mechanisms underlie cancer cells' ability to survive developing drug resistance and self-populational flexibility for adaptation to changing microenvironmental conditions.
