The genetic basis of early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC) and familial/hereditary colorectal cancer.
The role of extracellular vesicles/exosomes in cancer pathogenesis and their role as disease biomarkers.
The role of the tumor microenvironment, stem cells, immune regulation, and identification of novel targeted therapies.
