Nicola Zanesi's research focuses on the molecular biology of cancer, particularly how small regulatory molecules called microRNAs (short RNA sequences that control gene activity) contribute to tumor growth by disrupting tumor-suppressor genes like PTEN and WWOX. This work spans cancers such as osteosarcoma, glioma, breast cancer, and leukemia, and also touches on neurodegenerative disease mechanisms relevant to Alzheimer's disease.

Publication output was minimal or absent between 2019 and 2022, then spiked sharply in 2023 (largely driven by supplementary/data reposts of earlier studies), suggesting an irregular rather than steadily growing cadence.
