Research Area in Bioinformatics
Immagine
The research activities of the Research Area have contributed to the discovery and characterization of different markers of tumor progression especially in brain tumors such as the description of the mechanism of action of one of the most recurrent translocations of human tumors, the FGFR3-TACC3 fusion. The group also contributed to the discovery and definition of the molecular subtypes of gliomas within the international network of TCGA researchers (The Cancer Genome Atlas).
