This unit designs and develops antiviral and antitumor agents, primarily nucleoside, nucleotide or oligonucleotide analogues but also other substances which interact with enzymes involved in nucleic acid metabolism (i.e. DNA polymerase, reverse transcriptase, thymidine kinase, thymidylate kinase, nucleoside phosphorylase, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, adenosine deaminase, S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, IMP dehydrogenase, OMP ...
Our research interest is in the epigenetic causes of human diseases. We tackle scientific problems by leveraging cutting edge genomic tools, in vitro and in vivo experiments and insights derived from patient samples. This enables us to address questions that were hitherto impossible to be answered. we am thus uniquely poised to characterize the nature of epigenetic signals that are changed in disease, how they are perturbed and how they ...
