Research Interest

Dr. Luca Morandi research interests are focused on gliomas, breast and oral cancer genetics and epigenetics, clonality analysis, cancer evolution. He is currently completing a project about phylogenetic analysis of ductal carcinomas around margins and enlargements; he is working on DNA methylation by bisulfite Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) in invasive lobular carcinomas of the breast, oral squamous cell carcinomas and gliomas. His technical and computer skills include NGS analysis (454, IonTorrent, MiSEQ platforms), BS-SEQ, data analysis by Perl.
