The Section of Biochemistry
The Section of Biochemistry exploits biochemical methods and molecular approaches to investigate key processes involved in biology and human diseases. These include the role of microenvironment in the regulation of tumor progression and metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells, the role of sphingosine 1-phosphate and other bioactive lipids in the regulation of key cell responses, protein folding and misfolding and their association with neurodegenerative diseases, the protective effects of plant molecules, particularly polyphenols, against degenerative diseases, the structure-function relationship of proteins and peptides, systematic proteomics, protein tyrosine phosphatases and tumorigenesis, oxidative medicine, bio-redox bio-medicine, bio-active peptides and nutraceuticals, etc.
