Tissue regeneration, cancer and organoid models
Our lab studies the molecular mechanisms of adult tissue regeneration and their deregulation in disease, either fibrosis or cancer. Specifically, we focus on identifying the molecular and cellular effectors involved. For that, we use animal models and organoid cultures from both mouse and human tissues that we have pioneered over the years.
