The focus of our research has been the PI3K/AKT/FOXO signaling which is considered as the most frequently activated pathway in cancer. FOXO is the major transcriptional effector of this signaling pathway and inactivated in many tumours. FOXO3a is the second most replicated gene associated with extreme human longevity.
