• The scientific activity is focused on the study of morphological and molecular alterations involved in the neoplastic pathogenesis and identification of genetic and epigenetic alterations to search biomolecular markers for diagnosis, prognosis, and predictive of therapy in several neoplasias particularly colorectal, ovarian and breast tumours.
    • Innovation in the diagnostic process in Anatomic Pathology embracing and implementing the role of digital pathology in order to switch from conventional light microscopy to computational pathology.

    This approach allows for a several applications:
    Diagnosis: performing primary diagnosis, telepathology , and providing second opinions by remote consultations,
    Education: training medical students and residents
    Research: facilitating condivision of images and data analysis between different laboratories in the field of national and international collaborations.
    Furthermore, application of confocal microscope technique in pathological diagnostics and its use for a fast intraoperative evaluation in different oncological settings.
