Research interests

My research was focused on the study of transcriptional regulation of genes involved in oncogenesis, hypoxia, and inherited diseases. Currently, I am interested in genetic epidemiology and I  focus on association studies of gene polymorphisms with oncogenesis or multifactorial inherited diseases.
