The research activity of the Microgem focuses on the study of mechanisms that regulate the proliferation and differentiation of cancer cells and biological molecules involved in such processes.

An overview of the entire transcriptoma and proteoma obtained through the use of microarrays and massive parallel sequencing techniques, thanks to the instrumentation and know-how provided by the laboratory, highlighted some interesting molecular pathways that are currently being studied.

Microgem's participation in research activities has made it possible to create a series of services to support the researchers. The Microgem Laboratory is involved in developing third-party research projects in genomic and proteomic areas.
