The main domain of research is cancer microenvironment with the intent to identify and validate new molecular targets in cancer. The chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7 play a central role in cancer development and metastatic disseminations of multiple solid and hematopoietic neoplasias. CXCR4 and CXCR7 demonstrated to be prognostic marker and predictive of response to drugs in colorectal and renal cancer.
