PhD project Title:
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of compounds targeting lipid metabolism as potential anticancer agents
Abstract of the PhD project:
Lipid metabolism plays a crucial role in regulating various pathological and physiological processes, including inflammation, pain, neuroprotection, and cancer progression. In malignant tumours, lipids are indispensable, as they are crucial for tumor growth and dissemination. Consequently, targeting lipid metabolism represents a promising and underexplored strategy to tackle cancer progression and invasiveness. Thus, the aim of my project is to develop new compounds that specifically interfere with lipid metabolic pathways, with the goal of investigating their potential as anticancer agents.
