  Tumor cytogenetics

  C.T.Storlazzi, M.Rocchi



- Genome plasticity and chromosome instability in tumors.
-
Molecular mechanisms of gene alteration in solid and hematological neoplasms.
Some of these activities are performed by C.T. Storlazzi in the frame of the Cost Action EuGESMA (European Genomic and Epigenetic Study on myelodisplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML)]
