Main Research Topics
-Targeted therapy in hematological malignancies: how to overcome resistance to therapeutic kinase inhibitors in individual patients, based on a proteomic platform combined to metabolic phenotyping in an ex-vivo primary leukemia cell model. The ultimate goal is the dissection of molecular mechanisms driving resistance in individual leukemia patients, to personalize drug treatment (Bertacchini et al., Leukemia 2014; Serafin et al., Leukemia 2017)
