General research interest: three main axes.

  1. snoRNA and Ovarian Cancer: We explore the role of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in ovarian cancer, focusing on their effects on ribosomal RNA modifications and their potential as biomarkers or therapeutic targets.
  2. Intron Functions and Splicing: Our research investigates the functional importance of introns in gene regulation and their involvement in fundamental cancer-related pathways, such as nutrient sensing and cellular adaptation to stress and starvation.
  3. Ribosome Function and Heterogeneity: We study how variations in intronic sequences, splicing, and amino acid sequence influence ribosome production and composition. Using yeast as a model system, we examine how these variations define translation patterns under different growth conditions and link them to fundamental processes in cancer biology.
