Salvatore Feo

Salvatore Feo is a Full Professor at the Department of Biological, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technologies (BIOS-14/A), University of Palermo. His research spans molecular biology, oncology, and bioinformatics with a focus on breast and colon cancer mechanisms, neuroplasticity, and proteomic/transcriptomic profiling.

• Key Research Areas
  • Molecular interactions in cancer progression
  • Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)
  • Neuroplasticity and stress models
  • Proteomic and transcriptomic analyses
  • Nanoparticle-based cancer therapies

Recent publications highlight his work on ENO1/Hsp70 interactions as therapeutic targets, THC-induced neuroplasticity alterations, and multi-omics approaches in cancer biology. While no awards or grants are listed, his contributions to understanding tumor biomarkers (e.g., S100 proteins, MMPs) and stress responses in myogenic progenitors are consistent themes. Collaborations with institutions on DNA-based biosensors and ionic liquid functionalization indicate interdisciplinary applications.
