Science
Translational and basic research on CLL focuses on three main areas: 1) better defining genetic and functional alterations, particularly with the aim of improving patient stratification and understanding tumor progression; 2) determining the influence of the tumor microenvironment on tumor progression; 3) translational and machine learning models for integrating fundamental and clinical-biological data into preclinical research.
LLC Drivers, Functional Plasticity and Regulatory Mechanisms => Stratification markers
Permissive stromal environment, Tolerogenic environment, Molecular interactions => Identification of alternative therapeutic targets
Established a clinical and biological database => Preclinical studies
