Research in my lab focuses on gene therapy, cell cycle regulation, cancer genetics, and epidemiology to broaden our understanding of environmental carcinogens and their impact on public health. We have made significant strides in understanding and identifying anti-tumor agents that hold promise for treating mesothelioma, a cancer linked to asbestos exposure. At the Sbarro Health Research Organization (SHRO), we investigate innovative interventions to improve the quality of life for breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. We also study the relationship between cancer and environmental pollution, particularly in the Italian region of Campania. Our research highlights the increased cancer incidence near illegal toxic waste sites, linking various toxins to cancer in the affected populations. We contribute to a broader understanding of environmental carcinogens and their impact on public health.
