In our laboratory, we investigate the molecular processes operating in and leading to generation of cancer cells (the process is known as a carcinogenesis), cancer progression, as well as mechanisms underlying the ability of tumor cells “to escape” the destructive impact of anticancer therapies used in clinics. Investigation of molecular basis of other severe age-related disorders, including devastating premature aging HGPS disease and neurodegenerative diseases, is also within our scope of interest.
