RESEARCH INTEREST

Dedicated to fundamental and applied research in the field of molecular genetics with a focus on investigating molecular mechanisms involved in cancer development and metastasis. Recent interests are directed toward establishment of multicellular 3D mono- and co-cultures as an improved in vitro model in cancer research. Also, important area of investigation is search for new potential anticancer agents within various natural or synthesized compounds in vitro, using various carcinoma cell lines and in vivo, using zebra fish.
