Our research
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in industrialized countries, and the manifestation of distant metastasis is the major cause of cancer-related deaths in these men. Our research aims to deduce the role of post transcriptional regulation in prostate cancer initiation and progression. The current focus of our research is on RNA editing and m6A modification that alters the fate of RNA molecules involved in homeostasis. These modifications seem to be involved in cancer progression and modulate the immunogenicity of the transcripts. Our projects span basic RNA research, tumour biology, patient sample analyses and clinical collaborations for translational studies. It is our belief that increased understanding of RNA editing in prostate cancer metastasis could help design novel therapeutic strategies, as well as enable biomarker-based detection and monitoring cancer progression and subsequent metastatic spread.
