Research summary
AI-generated

Esmerina Tili studies how small molecules called microRNAs regulate genes involved in cancer development and immune evasion, with particular attention to virus-associated cancers like nasopharyngeal and cervical carcinoma. The research also spans related topics such as immune responses to infections including COVID-19, neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease, and molecular mechanisms of disease more broadly. This work combines molecular biology techniques to understand how tumors and infected cells escape immune detection.
