Research Work experience

Massimo Pancione  received his B.A. degree in biochemistry from University of Naples, Federico II, Italy and its PhD degree from  University of Sannio, Benevento, Italy. He worked on the human promoter of the retinol binding protein  as undergraduate student with Prof. Vittorio Colantuoni  in Naples. Next, he completed a research  training at National Research Council, Avellino, Italy and  the Spanish National Cancer Research Center, Madrid, Spain working on a mice models of intestinal disease  and cancer.    While working in Dr. Colantuoni laboratory he was the first to discover a link between  epigenetic modulation of PPARG and human colorectal cancers, a finding considered as a milestone in the field.  He is currently  a Researcher of Molecular Biology  and heads the laboratory of Molecular  Oncology and signal Transduction at Department of Science and Technology, University of Sannio, Benevento, Italy. In the last years, his research has focused on understanding the molecular basis of how malignant cells evade immune system mediate-destruction with applicability for predictive prognostic markers and implementation of molecularly targeted cancer therapies. The translational impact of novel therapeutic targets as well as molecules for the treatment of colorectal is one of the main aims of the laboratory. Another major interest is the study of the  centrosome linker proteins in health and diseases. These latter studies are beginning to shed light on the molecular basis of mitotic errors in extremely malignant human disorders.
