Hypoxia

Hypoxia is a common situation present in several pathological situations including tumors, ischemic events and chronic venous insufficiency. Cell and tissue responses to oxygen deficiency include metabolic adaptation as well as changes in gene and protein expression. Activation of specific signaling pathways and transcription factors are responsible for these processes. Our research is aimed to better understand these adaptative responses, how they lead to enhanced survival and how they can be targeted for therapeutical purposes.
