Research focus
Peptides are biologically active molecules, that are involved in cancer. As such, they can be used as biomarkers but also as theranostics.
Quorum sensing peptides, produced by microorganisms including our microbiome, have been demonstrated i.a. to promote metastasis. Hence, this group of bacterial molecules is also an explanatory factor in the host-microbiome interaction.
