Study of the role of tumor-specific microRNAs in the regulation of molecular and biochemical mechanisms involved in tumor progression and treatment response in hepatocellular carcinoma. Study of microRNA-mediated combination therapies in preclinical models of HCC (cell lines, patient-derived organoids, and mouse models). Identification of circulating biomarkers of response to treatments in patients with intermediate- and advanced-stage HCC.
