Abstract
The main goal of the project is to better understand the role of RAB7A in cancer cells studying processes governed by RAB7A and, in particular, their impact on cancer progression and chemoresistance. The specific aims of the project are the study of the role of RAB7A in EV biogenesis looking at the implications for cisplatin chemoresistance in ovarian cancer, and the study of the role of RAB7A in regulating mitochondria and EVs looking at the implications for cancer development and progression in pancreatic cancer.
