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.
Publication output has remained fairly steady over the past decade, averaging about 5 papers per year, with a notable increase in 2025.
