Research interests
My research focuses on primary brain tumors in adults, with a main interest on diffuse gliomas and tumor-immune system interactions in brain neoplasms. In specific, we are aiming to define clinical, genetic, epigenetic, and immunological factors associated with prognosis and therapy response, with the overarching goal of improving the therapeutical management and outcomes of patients with brain tumors.
As an additional research interest, we aimed to elucidate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in patients with cancer. In particular, we analyzed clinical and immunological responses towards SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations, with the objective to inform vaccination strategies in immunocompromised individuals such as hematooncological patients.
