Project description

Invasion and metastasis of cancer are the major causes of breast cancer deads. The primary aim of this research project is to gain insights into the molecular mechanisms of various modulators and effectors of the p53 and epithelial differentiation pathways that control the switch from a non-invasive lesion to metastasis to define new putative targets for breast cancer therapy.
