Redox signalling and cancer biomarkers
Research interests are mainly addressed to oxidative stress and more specifically to redox regulation in normal and tumor cells. In particular, the studies are centered on mitochondrial redox regulation in relation with the glutathione and thioredoxin systems and their roles in thiol signalling.
Another research line is on bioactive peptides from food matrices and their role on oxidative stress and redox signalling. The action of antioxidant peptides is studied in a cell system, in particular following the mechanism of activation of Keap1 /Nrf2 pathway. In addition, the relationship between Keap1 /Nrf2 and NF-kB pathways is a topic that we are actively exploring in our lab.
