Interests

Molecular alterations associated with cancer that can be of diagnostic and prognostic
Value.I am also very interested in studying the molecular basis of invasion and metastasis and how to stop and treat this phenomena that kills cancer patients.

Projects

I will be soon involved in a research project investigating the methylation status of some genes in bladder cancer.
