Research interests
Dr Liloglou's research interests focus in genetic and epigenetic instability in cancers of the respiratory tract. Particular emphasis is given to the discovery and validation of biomarkers for clinical management (early detection and therapeutic stratification).
A number of projects are currently on going, on non-coding RNAs, DNA methylation and HDAC inhibitors.
In addition, Dr Liloglou has high expertise in Clinical Research Methodology and collaborates with many clinical colleagues in the design and monitoring of clinical research projects, including RCTs.
