The aim of the projects implemented at the Laboratory of Human Cancer Genetics is to identify molecular changes underlying heritability and pathogenesis of human malignancies. Using the most innovative methods of molecular and genetic analysis, including next-generation sequencing, we seek for mutations that predispose to carcinogenesis.
We also analyze the function of regulatory RNAs, such as microRNAs, and the role of their disturbed expression or sequence in development and progression of cancer. We moreover aim to elucidate non-invasive molecular panels, based on measurements of microRNA expression in blood that will allow for diagnostics and prognostics of human cancers. Such panels might serve as a basis for personalized medicine. The Laboratory of Human Cancer Genetics is an interdisciplinary team, including medical doctors, molecular biologists, geneticists and bioinformaticians.
