IULIA VIRGINIA IANCU is scientific researcher II at Molecular Virology Department. Expertise area includes basic research regarding epigenetic and genetic modifications in oncogenesis and viral infections.
Research interests: (1) Investigation of non-coding RNAs species involvement in oncogenesis particularly in HPV-induced cervical cancer; (2) Exploring the effect of hrHPV viral oncogenes upon some cellular targets using RNA-interference; (3) Study of altered methylation patterns in cancer.
Additional research interests are: study of exosomes as suitable candidates for biomarker discovery in different pathologies; mechanisms and strategies in pathogen control (for SARS-CoV-2 infection sequencing the circulating variants) and epigenetic modifications influencing COVID-19 pathogenesis.
