Research summary
AI-generated

Giovanni Nigita studies small molecules called microRNAs and other non-coding RNAs, focusing on how chemical modifications and editing of these molecules contribute to cancer development and treatment resistance, such as in melanoma, lung cancer, and leukemia. His work also explores using these RNA molecules found in blood or other body fluids (liquid biopsies) as markers to help diagnose cancer or predict patient outcomes, sometimes combined with computational and machine-learning methods.
