Research summary

Pierluigi Gasparini's research focuses on small RNA molecules called microRNAs and their role in cancer biology, particularly how they influence tumor cell behavior such as the transition between epithelial (stationary) and mesenchymal (migratory) cell states. Much of the available public record centers on a single detailed study of how a gene called TWIST1 induces a microRNA (miR-424) that affects tumor initiation and progression. This work would suit students interested in molecular mechanisms of cancer spread and gene regulation by non-coding RNAs.

Publication output was modest and fairly steady from 2017-2022 but shows an unusual sharp spike in 2023, likely reflecting a single detailed publication with many linked supplementary materials, followed by very limited activity afterward.
