Dora Raos

Dora Raos serves as a Senior Lecturer at the Ruđer Bošković Institute in Zagreb, Croatia, operating within the Division of Molecular Medicine and specifically the Laboratory for Hereditary Cancer. Her role encompasses research and academic responsibilities in molecular oncology with a specialized focus on inherited cancer syndromes.

Her research interests prioritize:

• Identification of pathogenic germline mutations in cancer-predisposition genes
• Molecular diagnostics of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndromes
• Genotype-phenotype correlations in Lynch syndrome
• Population-specific variant interpretation in Balkan cohorts
• Translational applications of next-generation sequencing
• Genetic risk assessment methodologies

The Laboratory for Hereditary Cancer functions as a specialized research unit within the Division of Molecular Medicine, conducting genomic analyses to advance early detection protocols and personalized prevention strategies for high-risk families. Collaborative efforts integrate molecular findings with clinical oncology frameworks.
