Research

My group is particularly interested in genomics and bioinformatics. In the last few years, we have capitalized on the availability of next-generation sequencing technologies to address issues related to cancer genomics and molecular evolution. One particular field of interest is the surfaceome, a term coined by us to describe the collection of genes coding for cell surface proteins. We have provided the first catalog of the human surfaceome and have identified several new targets for diagnosis and therapy in a variety of human tumors.
