The current research interest of my laboratory is to understand how several non-nutritional components present in the regular diet, or molecules derived from food transformation, exert, at molecular level, a protective effect towards degenerative pathologies, including cancer. Our goal is to discriminate between preventive and therapeutic mechanisms using adequate pre-clinical models.
