Roberta Maestro is the head of the Department of Research and head of the laboratory of Oncogenetics and Functional Oncogenomics at the CRO Aviano National Cancer Institute.
The research program of my laboratory is focused on the identification and functional characterization of key molecular alterations that sustain tumor inception and malignant evolution. The goal of our studies is not only to contribute to the understanding of the fundamental events leading to sarcoma development but also to identify and validate novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and new strategies for more effective therapeutic interventions.
