HEREDITARY CANCER AND RELATED SYNDROMES
Consisting of 7 research groups from different fields, including clinical and molecular genetics, regenerative medicine, advanced/innovative therapies, molecular biology and cell biology .
Rare Diseases Studied:
• Fanconi anemia and disorders relating to genetic instability . • Hereditary cancer and pediatric tumors .
Objectives: To study the physiopathological mechanisms and genetic basis of hereditary cancer as
well as other related syndromes, in which genetic instability is a fundamental component in disease onset or progression . The specific objectives of this programme focus on the chromosome research, specifically on Fanconi anemia, research on rare tumors, particularly endocrine tumors, and research on advanced therapies (in collaboration with other RPs
