Research summary

Francesca Cottini studies multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow, focusing on the molecular mechanisms that allow myeloma cells to survive stress and resist treatment, such as DNA damage repair pathways, protein degradation systems, and cell stress responses. Her work spans laboratory studies of drug targets (like Akt, TTK/MPS1, and CREB1 pathways) as well as clinical research on treatment outcomes and biomarkers such as CD56 expression and monoclonal gammopathy conditions. This combination of basic and clinical research aims to identify new therapeutic strategies and improve patient outcomes in myeloma and related blood disorders.

Publication output grew substantially from 2017 through a peak in 2023, then declined somewhat in 2024-2026, though it remains higher than levels seen earlier in the decade.
